Synopsis:
When his dysfunctional family clashes over the holidays, young Max (Emjay Anthony) is disillusioned and turns his back on Christmas. Little does he know this lack of festive spirit has unleashed the wrath of Krampus: a demonic force of ancient evil intent on punishing non-believers. All hell breaks loose as beloved holiday icons take on a monstrous life of their own, laying siege to the fractured family’s home and forcing them to fight for each other if they hope to survive.
We’re particularly interested to see the alternate ending because, personally, we thought the theatrical finale was pretty perfect.
Krampus was a huge amount of festive fun and has definitely cemented Michael Dougherty as a horror film-maker to watch. He’s not waiting 8 years to bring us his next feature, thankfully, because Trick ‘R Treat 2 was recently announced. Considering the success of Krampus, hopefully we’ll be getting this one sooner rather than later.
Be sure to get your hands on Krampus on digital HD on 12th April or DVD/Blu-ray on 26th April.
