In 1984 Gremlins turned Christmas movies into horror. In 2015 Krampus did the same. While being funny, sad, and scary all at the same time Krampus was a good movie. The ending was interesting and good for a true horror film.
Language: two uses of the f-word and one unfinished use of m-----f----r, some uses of sh-t, a--, b-tch, hell, and damn, one use of b-stard and d-ck. There are a couple of uses of frikin and in the background you can here someone say cluster-effed this up. Those exact words not the actual word.
Sexual content: A brief joke about squirrels playing with their "nuts"
Violence: Shoppers tackle and fight each other of Christmas items in a montage. A main character fights with another character during a Christmas pageant. Krampus uses Christmas toys and cookies to attack a family. People are eaten by a seriously creepy jack in the box. Most of the violence isn't really seen. We briefly view a man's bloody leg, and later he is shot at with a nailgun and we see the nails pierce his skin. A teddy bear monster has its eye poked out than has its head blown off by a shotgun shell. A couple of characters are thrown down into a fiery pit. A man is stabbed, a baby is kidnapped, people are pulled through the ground, and someone is pulled up a chimney by gingerbread people.
Drug and alcohol: Briefly on a video chat a character holds up a christmas themed bong. A couple of characters are shown drinking or pouring drinks. A woman gives a pre-teen a sip of Peppermint Schnapps.
Other: Max, a main character is known as "maxipad" to his cousins. A couple times kids swear. Overall the movie is more scary and disturbing than violent.
Conclusion: While being downright disturbing at times, Krampus gets the message across that the Christmas spirit is disappearing. As shown in a shopping montage a la Black Friday, it is trying to say that we need to focus on the real spirit. Also, a character is willing to sacrifice himself for his whole family. Overall, the film is good. But, it can be scary and is not necessarily a movie for everyone.
