I will be posting Christmas-themed horror films over the next 24 days of LosMas; for the thirteenth night, I am posting Krampus: The Return
Krampus: The Return (2022)
After the apparent suicide of her brother, a young woman suspects that his death may have been the work of the Christmas demon Krampus. She then seeks clues to find out the truth and, if necessary, plans to confront and defeat this holiday menace. In the past few years, Krampus has emerged as a new holiday villain with mostly terrible movies that are not worth checking out. However, Krampus: The Return does avoid the mistake of a CGI-generated villain and stands out as a decent horror holiday tale. As mediocre as this film is, the lead actress Natasha Rose Mills does stand out with her effective performance as the stoic sibling. This film is better than the half-dozen knockoff Krampus movies released in recent years but pales compared to the 2015 Michael Dougherty classic. Nevertheless, Krampus: The Return with worth checking out if you have burned through all your other holiday horror movie choices.
