Indeed, Krampus isnt as clever or scary as Christmas horror/comedies past, but provides enough kitschy fun for those craving a darker holiday yarn.

But unlike that cult classic, Krampus can never quite find its stride, and lacks the Spielberg charm that might make it truly memorable.

Dougherty is going for a mid 80s/Robert Zemeckis/Joe Dante/Tales from the Crypt type of presentation, and he did a damn good job of it.
