unwarrented hate

I agree with you. But you don't have to attack the MCU to justify your position. I know it's cool to attack the big popular series right now especially when trying to defend an underrated movie. This looks silly especially when these movies have nothing to do one another.

That being said I had a blast with this movie. Its not perfect but it's certainly fun! It did remind me of B movies of the 80s.

This was a fun movie. I don't know much about the production history, but I never got the impression that this was a softened version of an intended Hard-R horror movie, so I wasn't bothered by the PG-13 rating. There definitely could have been, and probably will be, a darker and much more violent mainstream Krampus film, but it never seemed like this was meant to be that film. With that said, Krampus never felt like it was aimed solely at children either, which says a lot for a movie that features CGI gingerbread men.

I am not surprised that many people dislike this movie, given the ambiguous ending and lack of gore, but I really enjoyed it. I found it entertaining, creative at times and unique.

I agree this is good but I also like the MCU as well with the exception of Iron Man 3.

Did this movie get a lot of hate? My impression is that it was positively received overall.

The only people I've been seeing hate from are the hardcore gore-fetish horror fans who think any horror movie that doesn't have over the top violence and show every single detail in graphic closeup isn't worth watching.

As soon as I hit "play" and the PG 13 slate appeared--so before even a second of the film played, I said to my wife, "Oh, this is going to have a lot of negative comments--it's PG 13. A lot of horror fans categorically hate PG 13 horror films."
