I liked this film. IF you don't like it fine. But why be a troll. I hate comic book movies but I do not go on imdb boards and attack people for enjoying them. Original Poster Grow Up!

I'm no 10 year old and I bet I have a higher IQ than the OP and I gave this movie a solid 8/10.
Name call all you want. Cry and throw your toys out of your pram while you're at it. This movie was very well done. It may not be for everyone, so you'll just have to suck up that rating, snowflake.

I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed Krampus. Honestly there is something for everyone and I appreciated the nods to Gremlins and House. Excellent film and the practical FX are breath taking. I bought the BD and watched all of the behind the scenes footage, the Director clearly loves the genre. 9/10.
It's all a deep end.

This movie should have been rated even
higher
, in my opinion. It has a classic feel to it.
I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves.

I'm 44-years-old and I totally enjoyed this film. It reminded me a lot of Gremlins because of its blend of horror and humor along with the Christmastime setting and nifty old school practical special effects. 8 out of 10 from me.

Apparently you only like long, boring drawn out drama movies. What a boring life you must lead. Maybe you shouldn't watch horror movies. And for that matter comedies, fantasy, or action.

Loved it! Great writing, acting, production. A lot of talent and energy goes into something like this complex film, and all you trolls, acting as a team, couldn't come up with anything close to it.
And you know it.

Great Old School Darks 80's kids movie. Nothing like this gets made anymore. Get over yourself people.

But Krampus is NOT a 'horror' movie. It has some old school horror elements, but it is clearly NOT a horror movie.
3rd generation American from a long line of Gottscheers it was Drandul, dude!

You should just stop watching horror films. They are obviously NOT for you. Maybe just stop watching films in general.

"my total lack of enjoyment in this film". Some people don't enjoy The Godfather or The Wizard of Oz, and would like to give those movies low scores even though those are considered some of the best movies to date. A movie is not only good if it amuses someone, especially not if that someone has horrible tastes in movies, not saying you do or don't, just making a point. When scoring a film there is more than just subjective " I liked it" or " I didn't like it". Sure I his movie doesn't deserve a 9 or something like that but to say that it doesn't even deserve a 3, come on it was a well built movie that was well executed. It wasn't perfect but a six is perfectly reasonable.

i would really struggle to answer if someone asked me what was the worse or best film i ever saw. i reckon every film must have some merit and all films have deficits. my 1 out of 10 represents my total lack of enjoyment in this film.

I understand not liking the film, but a 1 out of 10? Come on, there is no way you thought this was one of the worst movies ever made.

Well I had to since your post sure didn't.

Thank you for that thoughtful and logical response, which was really relevant and has enriched the level of debate in this thread.

Oh what a surprise. A marvel fan with garbage taste.
Kys.

I just watched this movie. I thought it was f'king terrible. It was meant to be a comedy horror, fine, except it wasn't funny and the horror was predictable and tired, right down to having the evil toys lunge at the screen in the final scene. Most of the acting was weak, a special mention to Adam Scott for his utterly anaemic performance. What the hell was Toni Collette doing in this crap?
I scored this film 1 out of 10.

How could you love Dumb and Dumber and not this? That is just wrong.

I really enjoyed the movie. It's a fun popcorn movie that you're not supposed to take seriously, I watched most of the movie laughing or with a grin my face. I think you're taking it way too seriously.

The film definitely had more potential. After all the script was good and had a lot of German folklore Krampus spirit.
But I had a nagging feeling that there had been some meddling going on which made some scenes seem out of whack or too long winded or even out of order.
This did the story no good at all.
I would like to see the director's cut.

You're pretty judgy for somebody with such terrible English. Maybe learn the language first, before trying to bash other people's tastes? Bye.

I certainly hope i am from a different planet. I wouldnt want to share a planet with you.
Applied Science? All science is applied. Eventually.

Me too. The annoying CGI gingerbread men lowered the score a bit, but everything else was perfect.

i gave it a 9
