4/10
This was a step in the right direction from the first film but still not good

Krampus 2 (2018) is a movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a community center that includes many workers that are required to be there as part of their community service. On Christmas Eve an unexpected guest arrives to determine who is naughty and whom was there for authentic reasons. The punishment for being naughty is this will be their last day at the community center...or any place else alive.

This movie is directed by Eddie Lengyel (The Curse of Lilith Ratchet) and stars KateLynn E. Newberry (Homecoming Revenge), Tiffani Hilton (Whatever it Takes), Robbie Barnes (Whatever it Takes), Roger Conners (Meat) and Daniela Simms (Chosen).

The movie has a fun opening with a great ax kill and some great corresponding sound effects. The kills for this are a step above the original. However, I never like when they have the monster/demon inside a human and a human is doing all the killing for the viewer, it always feels a bit like a copout. The acting, dialogue and scenarios were about equal to the first one, not overly good.

Overall, this was a step in the right direction from the first film but still not good. I would score this a 3.5-4/10 and recommend skipping it.
