Film # 4 on the 2016 Halloween Movie marathon...


..and I probably should have watched it more around Christmas, knowing now it's a horror/comedy , but overall, it was a fantastic film! SOme great holiday laughs with some genuinely scary sequences. I understand why they went for the PG13 rating but I wish they did make an uncut/unrated version because in some shots, it felt like there was more to it but they cut away or just off screen it.

Still a super solid film and I gave it an 8 out of 10. I see this board is quite divided on the ending and I do feel enough of it was left open for interpretation, but in my eyes, I have to go with the "dark" ending. There were just too lines of dialog for me to dismiss it and I feel the film works better that way too. I mean, if it was intended to be a happy ending all along, and all Krampus needs is a wish to be taken back, that means the Grandma DIDNT cry and wish her parents weren't taken away>?? That totally ruins her character!

What do you think??

Who's strangling the cat?

It doesn't ruin her character it explained why she was depressed during Christmas every year because it was when she lost her parents...and she even wished for it, but she only knew part of the legend and that is what she passed down.
