Mother Krampus (2017)

Dir James Klass

A series of child deaths in the early 1990s terrifies a small town that fears the dark spirit of Frau Perchta may have returned. An outcast woman is blamed for the murders and hung by angry parents seeking vengeance against this suspected witch. Twenty-five years later, children begin to disappear, and one woman decides to look into the legend, fearing that she and her child may be the next victim. Mother Krampus is a 2017 Christmas-themed horror movie directed by James Klass. The story draws from the German legend of Frau Perchta, a witch who would kidnap children during the 12 days of Christmas. The film was initially titled The Curse of Frau Perchta but was renamed Mother Krampus to tie it in with the numerous Krampus-related stories despite this movie having nothing to do with the Krampus legend. Certainly not the worst of the lot, Mother Krampus is an interesting concept, and Frau Perchta is a scary villain that deserves a better movie.
