Featured reviews
The movie's introduction states that the action commences in December 1918. However by that time actual WW1 hostilities had ended on November 11, 1918.
Making this a period piece was really ambitious and its take on the Krampus story is certainly creative but it ultimately falls flat and becomes a shore to get through because of its flawed execution.
Decent production values and cinematography for what it is but lacking on almost every other aspect including the writing, pacing and directing.

So bad I couldn't get through it. I tried to hang in there but it just kept going lower and lower.
This movie is a terrible Christian knock off of the original Krampus I grew up knowing and loving. This movie barely introduces Krampus it is mostly talking about how he some German demon with horns who hates everyone especially children and it barely even showed Krampus , Krampus is only shown near the end of the entire film for about only 15 minutes in total , I watched this movie on Tubi Thinking it was going to somewhat be like the original film but boy I was completely wrong !!! It's nothing but a sad film trying to be something remake of a great Christmas horror film. In all honesty this movie is nothing but a embarrassment !!! ( 1 star )
Krampus Origins tells the tale of how everything started in Krampus movie series.
Premise is enticing - where did the monster come from?
Krampus movies have been very entertaining so far and a movie set in medieval Germany would have been inspiring.
For my great grief - this movie is not fulfilling the promise of Krampus franchise. First of all, sound mixing.. and everything related to sound, music included, was rubbish. Gun shots and explosions at the first part of the film were muffled, probably recorded at the sound stage.
Lighting and set design all were disappointments. Actors were hired from small town playhouse with a promise of one warm meal a day and credits in the film. Special FX.. these were none. Monster himself, Krampus, was just a horned buff dude with some black paint on him. Probably directors cousin who lifts weights.
I hope that, who ever owns the rights to the name Krampus, would be more careful who can make films in this franchise.
