    Shouldn't have been unleashed

    'Krampus Unleashed' drew me into seeing it, with a cool poster/cover, an intriguing if not particularly original premise and as someone with a general appreciation for horror. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there, made me though apprehensive as well as the low rating and poor reviews.

    It is sadly however yet another film seen recently, hence some reiteration because the exact same strengths and flaws those films have are present here, that to me was incredibly disappointing considering its potential which it doesn't do anywhere near enough with. 'Krampus Unleashed' is terrible, with a plethora of enormous problems. Low budget Krampus films have not fared well and 'Krampus Unleashed' is one of the worst examples. There is next to nothing to recommend.

    Lets start with the sole positive. The setting is sometimes atmospheric and spooky.

    Unfortunately, it is not done justice by the rather direct to video schlocky way it's shot and edited and the drab colour palette, so much so it was hard to appreciate it, it was very clear that the film was made in a rush with no care or enthusiasm. In particular, the camera work was a nauseous assault on the eyes with its excessive amateurish-ness.

    Going on further to the negatives, the story does feel paper thin, disjointed and over-stretched and some of it feels vague, under-explained in the last third where the film especially became duller, more predictable, more senseless and less scary. Too many characters are too sketchy and with nowhere near enough to make one want to endear to them. Their annoying and illogical decision making and behaviours frustrates.

    Making the film feel bland and forgettable with not enough heart put into The sound quality is obvious and utilised cheaply (being too loud in the build ups and people's reactions and dreadfully recorded) and it's best not mentioning the uniformly lumbering and histrionic acting that shows a huge indifference to the situation and what is going on.

    Dialogue can be stilted and rambling, with lots of clichés, lots of unintentional humour that makes some of the film play like a really bad spoof and no depth whatsoever, while the pace goes to a standstill very quickly and drags on forever with very little going on worth caring about and useless padding, never recovering. The minimal action wouldn't have mattered so much if the character development was present or engaging, instead not enough is learnt about the characters, the exposition is too heavily relied upon and is neither interesting or illuminating, actually dragging things down. Found too many of the supposedly shocking moments not surprising or scary and the supposedly creepy atmosphere dreary, due to the excessive obviousness, a lot of dumb and vague moments and explanations and the lack of tension and suspense. Would not have minded the lack of originality (the film is extremely derivative and in a dumbed and watered down way) if the story and atmosphere were at least alright in execution, in reality they were both very poorly done.

    A lot of 'Krampus Unleashed' has underdeveloped plot elements and often nonsensical and confusing character motivations, while too many of the things to make you jump or shocked are far from creative or scary and are pretty tame. The ending didn't satisfy and felt anaemic and the whole thing felt like an over-stretched-to-beyond-breaking-point short film.

    There is not enough threat, and what there is of it tends to be used poorly, is just as poorly designed and so laughably done it doesn't frighten at all. The film is completely unimaginative and more odd than creepy, completely failing to show any sense of horror or creativity. Everything here is neither creative, suspenseful or nail-biting. Some badly sagging momentum too. The direction is leaden and like their heart was not in it or ill at ease, with the chemistry between the characters and actors coming over as constantly random and aggressive with the subtlety of an axe. It's all very gratuitous and mean spirited and everything is neither creative or scary with a complete lack of suspense or sense of horror.

    Overall, awful with no redeeming value apart from an element that is difficult to appreciate with it being complemented so badly. 1/10 Bethany Cox

    Worst movie I have ever seen in MY LIFE

    I wish I could give this movie a -10/10, that's how crusty it was. I put this on thinking it was the new Krampus movie that played in theaters. No this was some low budget crap with people who could not act for their lives. The editing looked like it was done on IMovie, a ten-year old could have done a better job than this. PLEASE DO NOT WATCH YOU WILL PLAY YOURSELF! I am currently no longer in the holiday spirit, thanks Krampus UNLEASHED

    Horrible Horror

    Please don't waste your time on this one. Acting is sub par, filming angles are bad. This is just a low budget movie that should have never been made. But hey, you have to start somewhere right? I only hope the makers of this film learned some lessons and will not make another waste of time. The plot is not well written, so the story is hard to follow. The dialog seems forced and not well written. Some of the actors need to be given another chance while others should just go back to their day jobs. And why make another "Krampus" movie when one with a bigger budget was made the year before? This is just a bad move business wise. The special effects are special needs. I cannot stress to you that this movie is bad. I wasted $2.50 at a Red Box site and I wish I could get a refund.

    A masterclass in bad acting and bad film making

    Truly unbeliever that every single actor in this 'film' is beyond bad . I really believe you could grab a group of people off the street , give them two hours training and they would do a better job. Oh and the movie is lazy in it's writing , editing, pacing , effects , direction and even sound work .

    I will say I've seen worse Krampus movies.

    Krampus Unleashed (2016) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a group of treasure hunters who accidentally unearth Krampus instead of the gold they're looking for. Krampus stays dormant a few years after being discovered until he eventually begins a killing spree. Can the local towns people find a way to stop him?

    This movie is directed by Robert Conway (Exit to Hell) and stars Amelia Brantley (True Nightmares), Tim Sauer (Skinwalker), Daniel Link (Wish Man), Tori Glawe Osborn (The Dead Beats) and Owen Conway (The System).

    The storyline, acting and writing in this is pretty bad. The dialogue definitely could have been better written and executed. Krampus honestly kind of looks like a troll with horns. The kill are actually pretty good and there's some good gore, blood splatters and props. I will say I've seen worse Krampus movies.

    Overall this movie isn't good; however, it's worth watching once if you're a Krampus fan. I'd score this a 3/10 and only recommend watching it with the appropriate expectations.
