'Tis the Season for misleading Film Posters and low-budget Horror. Merry Whatever-you-Celebrate and I hope you have more fun than I did with...
Okay, it's alot misleading.
There's no lady Krampus or even a Santa outfit (on our killer).
This generic look is what they really have.
With that out of the way, we get a prolonged pre-Title Scene involving 4 people (only 3 of whom that are set up at all) being killed...slowly...one at a time...by our killer.
Some decent make-up doesn't make up for those 10 minutes of basically nothing.
The actual Plot involves a quartet of characters- three women and one man in drag- who must do court-ordered community service.
3 of them are just plain awful.
The 4th is a blank slate who mostly just looks sad sometimes.
The 4th is a blank slate who mostly just looks sad sometimes.
You're stuck with them for the next hour.
Chug that nog!
They 'dick around' a bit before ending up at a poor woman's house to finish their final night of service.
Of course, the killer is actually the one there.
Since we know this, we're just counting the seconds until the next kill.
You've got to wait about 2,700 of them, so...enjoy.
Who will live and who will die?
The answer to the second is most likely 'your soul.'
To find out, stream the Film on Tubi.
I mean, what was I expecting? The last one of these was a pretty nothing, if not cruel Horror Film about a German Witch. Was I *really* expecting an old Krampus Lady? No.
Was I expecting something at least passable? Yes.
This was originally made to be released as The Naughty List (something mentioned enough times to justify the Title) or Naughty List (take your pick). With the original Title, it's a nothing Slasher Film on Christmas with mostly-awful Characters, a slow pace and only a few good make-up bits to make it acceptable.
As Mother Krampus 2, it is a bad Film with few highlights AND you've been 'tricked.' This is just the Dark Harvest Series all over again, just jumping from the burgeoning DVD Market to Streaming. I would have settled for, oh, I don't know, a terribly-fake CGI Krampus at this point instead...
It's a lie that hides a Film that isn't really that good either. At least trick me into watching something good for a change!
