Not quite funny enough and not quite scary enough, Krampus is a holiday antidote that wants to be a modern- day Gremlins but needed to be nastier, darker, or some variant with the suffix of - er. Writer/director Michael Dougherty has been down this holiday road before with Trick 'r Treat, a superb horror anthology gem that was buoyed by a twisted sense of humor and a clever criss- crossing set of storylines that pollinated plenty of payoffs. Krampus begins with a brilliant opening credit sequence that sets a high bar or promise the movie will ultimately be unable to deliver, watching slow- mo stampeding shoppers fighting over Black Friday discounts set to a classic Bing Crosby yuletide tune. From there it's more a Griswald dysfunctional family gathering until one of the young boys rips up his letter to Santa in disillusionment, calling forth Krampus and his minions. From there the family is terrorized and come closer together in struggle, trying to understand their predicament. There are a few great character designs for the minions, especially a jack- in- the- box whose face unhinges into a sarlac pit of teeth. The PG- 1. 3 rating keeps the film from getting too gory or too wicked, which also belies the fact that at heart it's really an old- fashioned Christmas morality play about loving one another.

Critics Consensus: Krampus is gory good fun for fans of non-traditional holiday horror with a fondness for Joe Dante's B- movie classics, even if it doesn't have.
I was ready to groan with what appeared to be the ending but Dougherty at least subverts the expected and makes sure that there are lasting consequences for bad behavior. This isn't going to be remembered as a holiday classic but if you're looking for a fun horror comedy, Krampus at least has something to offer before you feel left wanting.
Nelly (Nina Hoss), a German- Jewish nightclub singer, has survived a concentration camp, but with her face disfigured by a bullet wound. After undergoing reconstructive surgery, Nelly emerges with a new face, one similar but different enough that her former husband, Johnny (Ronald Zehrfeld), doesn't recognize her. Rather than reveal herself, Nelly walks into a dangerous game of duplicity and disguise as she tries to figure out if the man she loves may have been the one who betrayed her to the Nazis. Evoking the shadows and haunted mood of post- war Berlin, Phoenix weaves a complex tale of a nation's tragedy and a woman's search for answers as it builds towards an unforgettable, heart- stopping climax.
