Krampus is a Christmas themed horror comedy based on the horned monster of the same name from German and Austrian folklore.  I know what you’re probably thinking, “That sounds ridiculous and silly.”  It is a ridiculous tale, but only as ridiculous as the story of Santa Claus.  Besides, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how effective the film is at espousing traditional Christmas values while gleefully murdering its cast in holiday themed horror. Krampus serves as a warning to anyone or any family who would dare forget the true meaning of Christmas.
