It’s hard to believe that we’ve had to wait this long for a new Michael Dougherty-directed feature film, marking Krampus as his first movie since 2007’s Halloween classic Trick ‘R Treat. And just like Trick ‘R Treat, Krampus explores holiday horror in terrifying fashion, cementing his new film as an instant Christmas-horror classic. In it, after his dysfunctional family clashes over the holidays, young Max turns his back on Christmas, unknowingly summoning the wrath of Krampus: a demonic force of ancient evil intent on punishing non-believers.
