Krampus’ hand about to touch a scared person
This terrifying Christmas-horror film inspired by European folklore follows a contentious family during Christmas.
Their bickering and distaste for one another has caused them to lose the Christmas spirit. This leads to the demonic figure, Krampus, appearing and raining terror upon them. By the end of the film, much of the family has been killed by Krampus.
In a final plea to save them, the young boy Max (Emjay Anthony) begs Krampus to spare them, only for him to be dispatched as well. The family awakens in their beautiful home on Christmas morning, having seemingly escaped their disastrous fate.However, the ending of Krampus reveals that the family members have all become eternal slaves of the demon’s torment, forever trapped together in one of his snow globes. This surprising ending is sure to stick with viewers and terrify them into enjoying the holidays just a bit more.
