I will be posting Christmas-themed horror films over the next 24 days of LosMas; for the sixteenth night, I am posting Krampus, The Devil Returns.
Krampus, The Devil Returns
In the past decade, numerous low-budget Krampus movies were produced to take advantage of the Michael Dougherty 2015 film. One of the exceptions was the 2013 indie horror movie directed by Jason Hull Krampus, The Christmas Devil. This film featured Bill Oberst, Jr and not much else besides showing the legend of Krampus and his relationship with Santa. In this 2015 sequel, former police officer Jeremy Duffin returns to help find the monster that kidnapped his daughter and other children in the community. Along the way, he learns some secrets and again has to face off against the evil Christmas demon and some other dangerous characters. Unfortunately, like the first movie, Krampus, The Devil Returns is a victim of its low budget and terrible script. The cast does feature some notable horror actors, A Mihailoff and Tiffany Fest. Still, they are wasted on this wholly unnecessary and disappointing film that will get watched by those thinking it is the 2015 big studio release.
