Krampus Unleashed

I just came across this on Hulu. Enjoyed the Krampus film that was in theaters. This film has nothing to do with that film. Not only that, but this film is absolutely terrible. The script was absolutely terrible. The direction was absolutely terrible, Many of the performances were absolutely terrible. The editing and sound design is absolutely terrible. If you must, watch the first 10 minutes. The rest of the movie is just as bad as the first 10. It is literally the worst thing I have seen in a long time. I am an unpublished writer and watching this gives me hope. Because if something as bad as this can be made who knows. Sorry for those who worked on this movie. Sorry for my harsh words but if you don't realize that you are a terrible filmmaker then I guess ignore this and keep on doing what you love. Although I kind of wish you would find a less grotesque way of unleashing your creativity.

I wish I could give this movie a -10/10, that's how crusty it was. I put this on thinking it was the new Krampus movie that played in theaters. No this was some low budget crap with people who could not act for their lives. The editing looked like it was done on IMovie, a ten-year old could have done a better job than this. PLEASE DO NOT WATCH YOU WILL PLAY YOURSELF! I am currently no longer in the holiday spirit, thanks Krampus UNLEASHED

Krampus Unleashed (2016) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a group of treasure hunters who accidentally unearth Krampus instead of the gold they're looking for. Krampus stays dormant a few years after being discovered until he eventually begins a killing spree. Can the local towns people find a way to stop him?

This movie is directed by Robert Conway (Exit to Hell) and stars Amelia Brantley (True Nightmares), Tim Sauer (Skinwalker), Daniel Link (Wish Man), Tori Glawe Osborn (The Dead Beats) and Owen Conway (The System).

The storyline, acting and writing in this is pretty bad. The dialogue definitely could have been better written and executed. Krampus honestly kind of looks like a troll with horns. The kill are actually pretty good and there's some good gore, blood splatters and props. I will say I've seen worse Krampus movies.

Overall this movie isn't good; however, it's worth watching once if you're a Krampus fan. I'd score this a 3/10 and only recommend watching it with the appropriate expectations.

Truly unbeliever that every single actor in this 'film' is beyond bad . I really believe you could grab a group of people off the street , give them two hours training and they would do a better job. Oh and the movie is lazy in it's writing , editing, pacing , effects , direction and even sound work .

This is director Robert Conway's second Krampus horror movie. His first was Krampus The Reckoning, which I thought was better than most people gave it credit for, despite a really bad CGI monster and very little in the way of gore. This time around, Conway has gone for practical effects for his creature and ramped up the splatter, but the rest of the film is total trash, with a laughable plot, unlikeable characters, and terrible acting. In a way, I admire Conway's no-nonsense approach this time around - this was never intended to be high art... it's just there to entertain fans of schlock (which explains the messy FX, courtesy of Marcus Koch, and the gratuitous nudity from Amelia Brantley).

Brantley plays Bonnie Tyler (no, not THE Bonnie Tyler), one of a group of people targeted by a rampant Krampus on Christmas Eve, the monster awakened after a 'summoning stone' (it's all explained in the prologue) is discovered in a creek by youngster Tommy (Bryson Holl). Unconcerned with who has been naughty and who has been nice, Krampus dismembers, decapitates, and eviscerates numerous victims, leaving a handful of survivors to try and defeat the monster by burying it alive. From the godawful opening version of 'Let It Snow', to the extremely rushed ending topped off by the ridiculous appearance of a baby Krampus (who chows down on irritating teen Troy, better late than never), Krampus Unleashed is z-grade nonsense all the way, which, for many, will mean it's virtually unwatchable. Once again, I think it's more enjoyable than the mostly 1/10 reviews suggest - not vastly so, I grant you, but still worth a go if you enjoy low-brow horror with plenty of blood and guts.

4.5/10, rounded up to 5 for IMDb.
