Mother Krampus 2: Slay Ride

While I did watch the 2017 movie "Mother Krampus" and didn't enjoy it one bit, I still opted to watch the 2018 sequel "Mother Krampus 2: Slay Ride", though I harbored zero expectations to the movie. But on account of never having watched the 2018 sequel, I opted to give director Eddie Lengyel's movie a fair chance, maybe it would prove better than the predecessor.

Writers Eddie Lengyel, Roger Conners and Kris Smith didn't exactly put together a particularly thrilling or enjoyable script. So I have to say that it wasn't an outstanding horror experience sitting through "Mother Krampus 2: Slay Ride".

Needless to say that I was not, of course, familiar with the actors and actresses on the cast list. I will say, though, that the acting performances were fair enough, despite the fact that the script was a garbage heap.

The movie was a slight improvement on the 2017 movie, but not by much. And certainly not enough that I would recommend you to waste 96 minutes on watching this.

My rating of director Eddie Lengyel's 2018 movie "Mother Krampus 2: Slay Ride" lands on a two out of ten stars.

This film is bad has nothing to do with the first one and why the hel is the other krampus mask Micheal Myers with a wig sofor the loveof god and everything holy do not watch this film unless if yor Ur into bad films goahead

The first few scenes (after the pre-credits bloodbath) didn't inspire a lot of confidence, but I ended up having quite a lot of fun with this. Four young ladies coming to the end of their community service are invited into the house of a seemingly nice old lady who, to be fair, puts up with a lot of nonsense from some of the girls, and, when he arrives uninvited, Paul, the drug dealer.

This is all played knowingly, as if inviting the audience not to worry about the micro budget and just to enjoy the ride.

Co-writer Roger Conners plays one of the main characters with a lot of gusto and camp humour. Also very appealing is Victoria, played by KateLynn E. Newberry. Perhaps Newberry overdoes the wide-eyed cutesy thing but the character is very appealing. In fact, I grew fond of all the characters.

The effects are surprisingly good and gloriously bloody, and various creepy moments remind us that although there are light-hearted moments, this is not a comedy. My score is 7 out of 10.

I enjoyed this film. It was nothing special and not one i will watch again but i didnt feel time wasted lol. The only part that really bothered me was the homeless shelter. One the fat girls dirt looked more like smeared make up and not authentic at all and second everyone in the homeless shelter was wearing designer glasses lol. I volunterred in soup kitchens all through my teen years and those people looked nothing like the ones we helped. The fat girls face takes the cake though. Check out the movie just to see it. Totally worth the chuckle.

Krampus 2 (2018) is a movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a community center that includes many workers that are required to be there as part of their community service. On Christmas Eve an unexpected guest arrives to determine who is naughty and whom was there for authentic reasons. The punishment for being naughty is this will be their last day at the community center...or any place else alive.

This movie is directed by Eddie Lengyel (The Curse of Lilith Ratchet) and stars KateLynn E. Newberry (Homecoming Revenge), Tiffani Hilton (Whatever it Takes), Robbie Barnes (Whatever it Takes), Roger Conners (Meat) and Daniela Simms (Chosen).

The movie has a fun opening with a great ax kill and some great corresponding sound effects. The kills for this are a step above the original. However, I never like when they have the monster/demon inside a human and a human is doing all the killing for the viewer, it always feels a bit like a copout. The acting, dialogue and scenarios were about equal to the first one, not overly good.

Overall, this was a step in the right direction from the first film but still not good. I would score this a 3.5-4/10 and recommend skipping it.
