But for those of us who may not be the biggest fan of this season, <em>Krampus<\/em> provides us with a way to feel a little Christmas-y without having \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffjingle bells&#8217; and soppy love stories shoved in our not-so-festive faces.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>Krampus<\/em> is based on an old myth; naughty children will instead be visited by a horned creature instead of good old Saint Nick. The 2015 film follows little Max who fails to get into the holiday spirit, ripping up his letter to Santa in a moment of frustration, and is subsequently given an unexpected visit by the anti-Santa, <em>Krampus<\/em>.\u252c\u00e1While I will admit, the whole premise may sound a little ridiculous, the film does manage to fuse quality comedic and scary scenes throughout. A lot of the scary scenes even made a horror lover like myself jump! I&#8217;ll avoid revealing spoilers, but\u252c\u00e1the movie also has a somewhat unexpected ending (although viewers are generally torn over whether it is a satisfying one).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The film even stars Academy-nominated actress and horror veteran Toni Collette, as well as the hilarious Adam Scott who most will remember from <em>Step Brothers<\/em> so there are at least some familiar faces for the sceptics out there to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">But be warned, this movie is not for the faint-hearted; the image of<em> Krampus<\/em> himself may haunt you for some days after viewing\u00d4\u00c7\u00aa it&#8217;s certainly not a Christmas film for\u252c\u00e1<em>all<\/em>\u252c\u00e1the family!<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Martha Hughes<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you think of Christmas, the last thing that probably comes to mind is a scary movie.
