Krampus (2015)
Rated PG-13
Starring Adam Scott, Toni Collette, Emjay Anthony, Stefania LaVie Owen, David Koechner
Directed by Michael Dougherty
The Story:
Max (Anthony) and his family (Scott, Collette & Owen) have become disillusioned this holiday season. So that means, Krampus has decided to visit the family and rekindle their holiday spirit, even if it kills them!
I've seen a lot of good horror comedies so far this year.
Heck, I have a couple that will be vying for favorite movie of the year honors when all is said and done.
Krampus won't be joining that list.
The main problem, as I saw it, the movie tried too hard to be scary and forgot to be funny.
And then they tried too hard to be funny and would forget to be scary.
So you take a good cast and give them a film with an uneven tone, and the results will be average, at best.
So yes, there's a few good laughs, and a few good scares.
But when it's over, much like the ending, it will be a vague exercise in trying to remember what exactly you just saw.
Final Grade: C
