Krampus: The Devil Returns

Where do I start? Let's start with the technical and say the sound is truly awful. It's like they only had one mic between all actors so in scenes with background noise you can't hear what people are saying. This happened all through the movie where actor sound levels were below background sound levels causing whole scenes to be inaudible (actually a blessing when looking at the film as a whole). Another is atrocious editing. Meaningless long single scenes with no cutting, pregnant pauses, protracted shots that are pointless and moronic fade outs for no reason. The FX were laughable. A guy in a dodgy mask and laughable sound FX. I've seen better CGI on a smart phone (This is not a joke!). Now the story: Contrived and a painful joining of a stupid story line to just add more running time to to the original shaky one. This was a terrible idea and just makes you shake your head in disbelief. Finally the acting. It was awful. Kids with no acting ability and adults with about the same. Scenes of meaningless terribly scripted small talk, protracted scenes of more terrible small talk and lots of ham.It was just an obvious way of filling time. A scene of a news reporter was hilarious. His sole job was as an exposition vehicle due to the poor editing and dialogue up to this point. This film just reeked of minuscule budget, no imagination and someone delving into a dressing up box for costumes. This was dire on all fronts and a waste of 119 minutes.

Krampus 2: The Devil Returns (2016) is a movie I recently rewatched on Tubi. The storyline follows Krampus' return to the same small town we recently saw him in and he's out for revenge. Jeremy returns to town when he hears about the murders to stop Krampus and hopefully discover what happened to his daughter who disappeared in the last movie.

This movie is directed by Jason Hull (Chasing Darkness) and stars R. A. Mihailoff (Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III), Shawn C. Phillips (Ghost Shark), Melantha Blackthorne (Deathrace) and Tiffani Fest (Circus of the Dead).

The good - Santa's ball busting in this is hilarious and it's always fun seeing Krampus dragging children in a bag. Unfortunately the storyline is awful, Krampus' voices is poorly done and the acting is miserable. The entire romance elements in this is painful to view. There aren't even any worthwhile kill scenes in this.

Overall, this is a low budget dreadful movie I highly recommend never watching. I'd score this a 1.5/10 and recommend skipping it.

Three words ''Low budget SH*T'' this is a horrible movie, with an awful scrip, an awful colorization, awful effects, don't waste your time watching this. At first time I thought this was the second part of the first Krampus movie, but it's not, this is the typical project of some guys, who were scratching their balls, and decided to do something with their lives, so they did this. Also the shots are disgusting, you almost feel the breathe of the actors in your screen, the shots are way TOO close. I just took five minutes on seeing this, and that's way more than it deserves. I think it should be a crime to do such lame versions of very good movies

How in the world did somebody film this and think, "yeah this is good, let's put it out" dude, my nine year old could've done a better title screen, wtf was the fog??? what is going on in these peoples heads when they're putting all of this together lmao. at first I was like, is this a parody? like there's no way that somebody made this and thought it was good afterwards. the camera angles are so bad. bad directing. awful production. the acting is the worst part. I mean listen- I love a good b movie. but this is just..so unbelieveably bad I honestly want to go throw the whole thing in my firepit and try to wipe it out of my brain forever .

First, this is not a sequel. Second, this can't even be considered a B movie. It's way below. From horrible acting all the way down writing, directing sound, and probably catering
