12.23 Krampus Krampus has

n't written about his impressions (spoilers) for a long time. No, I haven't written much about it, because I'm lazy and find it troublesome, and I don't want to show my thoughts in words. But this movie gave me motivation to complain, maybe because I really like dark stories related to fairy tales.

First of all, it must be clear that Krampus is not Santa Claus, and the whole story is based on German folklore. According to legend, Krampus is a monster who specializes in fulfilling the wishes of children with negative emotions on Christmas Eve. So yes, it can be defined. It is the opposite of Santa Claus, because it will ruin your family.

The story starts with a boy named Max tearing up his Christmas wish list. Every Christmas his aunt’s family will come to their house for Christmas. However, he doesn’t like this at all, because his cousin always bullies him and his uncle watched. It was very ridiculous, so my cousin snatched his list and read it out in public and reached a critical point. Max went crazy and said that I hate you, then ran back to the room. Finally, the more I thought about it, the more unhappy he opened the window and tore it open. The shredded list was thrown out, and the list was blown into the sky by a strong wind. The dark cloud suddenly closed, heralding the next disaster.

There is a key figure here, Max’s grandma Ommi. From the beginning of the film, the old lady looks like I have a secret but I really want to say it but I can’t. She doesn't speak English, and she has always spoken German from beginning to end. Fortunately, the German has not been forgotten, and the German is not equipped with English letters in the middle of the review. From the first Miss Max sister, the grandmother has been very worried, and has repeatedly prevented the boy's father and uncle from going out to find her sister. Warten and Nicht have said so many times, but of course they would not listen, so the two gentlemen carried guns. After I went out, I met the monster and was scared back. Then the boy vaguely felt that he had done something wrong and started to develop in the direction of the white lotus flower (what the hell).

The second one is the gluttonous cousin. When the gingerbread man, Krumpus’s little friend, came down from the chimney, the foodie reached out his hand and opened his mouth to bite. Of course, the gingerbread man was angry. Master!" So the chain flicked the foodie out of the chimney alive, although everyone worked together to play the human ladder to pull him, but it was of no use, the foodie was still going to receive the lunch. At this time, the grandma, who had not spoken, told her story (it’s too late, grandma): It turned out that when grandma was very young, she met Cromps because of her family disharmony. Cursing the holiday sadly on Christmas Eve ended up inviting Krumpus. It took her parents away (actually killed), and only left her with a bell as a commemoration (Look, I realized it) Your wish this is the receipt, no thanks?). She took out the bell as a testimony (I have to say that it is so beautiful, I like it), but unfortunately everyone didn’t believe it all, so next, various blackened clown dolls with explosive strength values ​​appeared, of course the gingerbread man The squad is indispensable, everyone took up their weapons and started fighting.

However, this story was a dark fairy tale at the beginning. Of course, there will be no turning point. The boy’s relatives received lunch one after another. In the end, only his aunt and a cousin were left besides his parents and grandmother, so his dad asked everyone. Escaped, and finally when everyone went out, grandma suddenly closed the door in front of them. She stayed in the room and waited for Cromps. Max finally panicked. He loves grandma, except for his father. He understands German (wrongly entered), then he patted the door, and grandma didn't open it. In the end, his father dragged his son away.

Then the first climax came. Grandma stood in front of the fireplace with a solemn face, waiting for Cromps to arrive. I really like this moment, sad and holy. With the sound of footsteps approaching, Krumpus finally climbed down from the chimney. He saw his grandma, and there was a pause in his footsteps. I guess it recognized the girl, and then he stretched out his paw (that can only be a paw, like a vine Touched grandma's face, and finally opened a black gift bag (really), grandma closed her eyes, so the moment the gift bag was opened, she was swallowed by a bunch of evil toys. From here, I understood that this movie is going all the way to the end. There is absolutely no great ending, but that just became its only highlight. It is not a good movie, and the plot is clichéd, but its ending is memorable. The few people who ran out finally got their lunch. In the end, only Max and his cousin were left. However, the cousin was also taken away. Max chased after him and finally faced Crompus. The monster with antelope horns turned around. Hand him a bell (receipt), which is exactly the same as his grandmother's "von Krampus" written on it. Then Krumpus led his attendants away with an overbearing president's breath, leaving the boy standing there dumbfounded.

has it ended? Of course not, almost. Max ran after him, just in time for his cousin to be thrown into the ground. There was lava underneath. He shouted at me to take back my wish! Give my family back to me! Let me replace them! While throwing the bell (receipt) back. Cromps looked at him, paused, blinked his eyes, reached out his hand to wipe his tears, and then threw his sister down without hesitation... Finally, he took the dissatisfied consumer by the way. Also threw it down (anyway, since he has no receipts, there is no claim to deceive consumers).........So in the end, it was Tuan Mie, a perfect dark ending. In fact, at the end of the film, Max woke up from bed and felt that he had had an old nightmare. When he ran to the living room and found that his family was talking and laughing, he felt that everything was over and his family came back. However... In fact, they all live in the crystal ball made by Krumpus and become one of its many crystal balls.

That's it, this is a bad movie, but it fits my liking very well. I think maybe it's because I still believe in fairy tales, so I really like it. I really don't have too deep thoughts, because this is really not a deep movie, but I still like it.

Krampus quotes

  • Omi: It started with the wind, on a cold night, much like this. It was almost Christmas, but this Christmas was darker, less cheerful. But I still believed in Santa, in magic and miracles, and the hope that we could find joy again. But our village had given up on miracles, and on each other. They had forgotten the spirit of Christmas, the sacrifice of giving, and my family was no different. I tried to help them to believe again, but we were no longer the loving family I remembered. They too had given up. And eventually, so did I. And for the first time, I didn't wish for a miracle. I wished for them to go away. A wish I would come to regret. And that night, in the darkness of a howling blizzard... I got my wish. I knew Saint Nicholas was not coming this year. Instead, it was a much darker, more ancient spirit. The shadow of Saint Nicholas. It was... Krampus. And as he had for thousands of years, Krampus came not to reward, but to punish, not to give, but to take. He, and his helpers. I could only listen as they dragged my family into the underworld, knowing that I would be next. But Krampus did not take me that night. He left me, as a reminder of what happens when hope is lost, when belief is forgotten, and the Christmas spirit... dies.

  • Tom: And, was drop-kicking him into the manger really the best way to handle this?

    Max: Okay, that was not my fault. I was under the influence. All I had to eat was Christmas fudge and candy canes.
