This is a few days late. I've been bad about posting reviews lately because I've been busy lately.

Krampus (2015)
2015 has been a fairly good year for horror in my eyes, and Krampus does at least a decent job in ending the year. It's the first Christmas-themed horror film in a long time, so it does give some variety for horror fans. Krampus is based on Germanic folklore of Santa's horned little helper who punishes the bad children on Christmas day. One boy has given up hope on Christmas when their obnoxious in-laws come to town. A freak snowstorm knocks out the power and barricades the family in their house. They have evoked the wrath of Krampus, who sends demonic toys and elves to terrorize the family. Fans of silly horror movies like Gremlins or Slither should find a lot to like in Krampus, although those looking for a good scare might be slightly disappointed. The movie takes a long time to really get to the good stuff, not really building any suspense but just watching banter among the family. However, it does allow all of the characters to be memorable and fleshed out. When Krampus' Minions finally do show up, the movie goes nuts. Practical and digital effects are used for the toys, making them look more real and creepy. A giant jack-in-the-box toy in particular is the stuff of nightmares. Krampus never gets particularly scary, but that's made up for by its silliness, memorable characters and fun plot. It should make a good annual Christmas viewing if you're not into Frosty the Snowman.

7/10

Possibly the worst christmas movie ever made and one of the worst movies period.

It's so amazingly bad I've actually seen it twice now.
You watched it twice? My auntie tried to get me to watch it with her.

"The Brothers Solomon" 7-8/10

Actually quite a sweet movie in all its stupidity. Will Arnett and Will Forte did a great job playing the two dimwit brothers who tries to provide their dad a grandchild in order to get him out of a coma. Yup, that's right... that's the story.

To all the fans of Dumb and Dumber, this movie is for you.

I'll never get that. Watching a movie several times in the theater.
But then again, I don't like going to the movies.

Speaking of Star Wars, I think I'm gonna wait until the new trilogy's finished and out on bluray.

Haven't heard about this one but it sounds good. Might watch it tonight.
Have you seen He Never Died yet? If not, don't watch any trailers.
