How did Michael Dougherty walk up to some suits at Universal and say "I'd like to make a Christmas horror comedy where a dysfunctional family gets attacked by horrific versions of toys led by evil Santa. Oh, also it'll have a ton of practical effects and costumes and

Yeah? I said that. Doesn't change the fact no ones ever heard of it. There's a reason every single time it's mentioned it's referred to as Cult Classic Trick r Treat. A cult classic with average reviews doesn't give you much dick swinging power in Hollywood.

It was still fairly cheap but looks like a huge risk on paper. Apparently the only way he got them to say yes was to bump it down to PG13. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I saw a trailer for Krampus Unleashed or something like that and it looked so fucking terrible.That is a different Krampus movie that is a sequel to another different Krampus (Krampus: The Reckoning) movie. There's apparently another duology (Krampus: The Christmas Devil and Krampus: The Devil Returns) that is also not the Krampus movie being discussed. TC is referring to the one just called Krampus. --- Aeris dies if she takes more damage than her current HP - Panthera https://signavatar.com/26999_s.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

Krampus is one of the few films to survive a bad twist at the end. It's still entertaining the whole way through.
In general, twist endings in horror movies are pretty played out. Most of them, Krampus included, feel like they're tacked on out of sheer protocol. At this point, we're conditioned to expect a surprise ending. That makes it about as much of a surprise as a Jack-in-the-Box popping out. --- Snoopy was certain that this was the end When the Baron cried out, "Merry Christmas, mein friend!" ...

It's a shitty ending. It should have ended with But the movie before that was so good that a minor hiccup at the end doesn't really hurt it. It's not a like a twist ending that changes the outcome in the closing seconds. We never had any doubts about who had won the primary conflict. It just expands upon the established ending in a way that doesn't really benefit the film. If a twist doesn't make you say, "Woah! That was awesome," it doesn't need to be. --- Snoopy was certain that this was the end When the Baron cried out, "Merry Christmas, mein friend!" ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't know. The ending had me reeling for a bit the first time I saw it. It was fantastic. I watched the alternate ending which is basically just the last shot of the "reveal" cut out and it's like a wet fart in comparison. The alternate ending also has the family not noticing so it has no real impact.
