Krampus

[Boba Ben]

Does this have comedy elements to it. Seems to by the trailer. I thought about seeing this but horror isn't really my thing unless there's humor to it.

It does. It starts out as a dark comedy that satirizes the holiday and slowly adds more and more horror elements, but there's still a certain goofiness to that stuff as well. I'd say it kind of reminded me of Gremlins, but a bit darker. I'm sure it's not for everybody, but I enjoyed it quite a lot.

I enjoyed this a lot too. Hope to see Krampus become a bigger icon in American Christmas culture in the coming years

I want a PF of Krampus!

It was pretty good. Definitely a modern Gremlins type movie. The Jack in the Box monster was creepiest......

Okay a couple of people have compared it to the original Gremlins now. That does it, I'm seeing it tonight.

 

[Khev]

Just saw it. Wow, that movie was legit! It was like if Gremlins had been directed by 90's Peter Jackson. Had elements of Tremors and Stephen King's Cat's Eye as well. Good stuff.

I loved this movie. The part with the gingerbread men had me in stitches.

 

[Khev]

Yeah some of the exchanges had me laughing out loud:

Spoiler:

"What's upstairs?"

"You don't want to know."

"I just got my ass kicked by a bunch of Christmas cookies, I think I can handle it!"

And:

Spoiler:

"I've been around long enough to know when life is coming at you with it's pants down. We're ***ked.

I'm very, very glad I saw this in the theater. I had no idea that Weta did the digital and puppet effects. LOVED "Krampus Karol of the Bells" that played during the credits. Fantastically dark twist on a classic Christmas song.

Just came back from seeing it myself. You're right. A big fat meh. It had it's moments but it's not worth watching again.

I really enjoyed this film. Not perfect but the story was good, effects were awesome and it had some good gags from time to time. It's going in my Chritmas movie rotation.

I would imagine you and some of your co workers are pushing for some Krampus statues?

No Krampus items planned from Sideshow at this time. WETA is making some really awesome statues and replicas though!

Bummer. A 1/4 Krampus would have been insane!

I would kill for some 1/6 figures, though. Man, that would make for a fun display.

I think a Sideshow original Krampus would be very, very cool though! I mean it would be like the Court of the Dead meets Christmas!

 

[NAZGUL-KING]

We're finally going to see Krampus today right after the Bears game.

7/10, mainly because they had to keep it PG-13, but imagine how good it would have been if it was rated R.
