Krampus

The highly anticipated holiday movie, Krampus, comes out Friday, December 4, and is rated PG-13. Young Max, played by Emjay Anthony, is disillusioned and turns his back on Christmas when his dysfunctional family clashes over the holidays. Little does he know, this lack of festive spirit has unleashed the wrath of Krampus, a force opposite of Santa Claus, who punishes children on Christmas rather than rewarding them. The family must fight for each other if they hope to survive.

This film is intriguing because nothing like it has been done before. Most Christmas movies are positive and happy; however, the dark themes and humor in this movie are sure to please comedy and horror fans alike.
