food you're craving right now right to your door [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] hello i'm the nostalgia critic i remember it so you don't have to why is it not december i should change my attire as of late not [Music] now that's a lot more festive god i'm sick of this joke all right just play the thing play the thing there's been many christmas horror films over the years some have stood the test of time many have fallen by the wayside some weren't even meant to be horror krampus came at just the right time with just the right idea and just the right tone for the most part we'll get to that a bit premiering in 2015 the last holiday horror film to be released around christmas was almost 10 years earlier and to be fair most of the ones prior were made on smaller budgets because there wasn't a guaranteed audience this one not only looked like it had money behind it but also a wicked sense of humor about the miseries of the holiday based on a character that had existed for years but was only then growing awareness from obscure reference to household name this is arguably what made krampus the well-known icon he is today at least in america despite being another pg-13 movie that pretends to be an r the mean-spirited atmosphere and creepy imagery has left several people i know swearing they saw an r-rated movie i don't know i respect a film that's clearly forced to be pg-13 yet tries everything to be as close to an r as possible despite like i said earlier some audiences being split on it why is it still growing in popularity every year and more and more people adding it to the christmas special libraries well let's make visions of severe thumbs dance in your head this is krampus the credits roll with what i wish was an exaggeration of black friday sales while playing it's beginning to look a lot like christmas look at that title over this image that tells you everything you're about to see this so hilariously sums up commercialism assassinating the meaning of christmas i want to see these films say oh they did in a few minutes what we couldn't in an hour and a half where are those twilight versus up memes oh well kiss that dog's ass you'll still watch us i'll write an apology to the rest of your class for ruining the recital one of the scuffles comes from a boy named max played by mj anthony who fought a kid who was mocking his love of christmas he even told the first graders that santa was just a cheap marketing ploy invented to sell pepsi coke you know what i mean as if pepsi needed any help with their mascot his mom and dad played by tony collette and adam scott are too busy preparing for their annoying relatives to drop by so his grandma is the only one who gives him any attention do you still really believe in santa claus grandma how come we can understand each other even though we never speak each other's languages these games the rest of the family arrives including david kitchner playing a redneck obsessed with guns and conchata farrell playing a difficult gossip i too was shocked they departed from the norm so would you ask santa for this year not to be confused with that kid from bad santa work almighty looks like martha stewart threw up in here this family is so miserable they make the mcallisters look like the tanners she makes so much food that you can't pronounce you guys might like a break from macaroni and cheese with hot dogs and who doesn't make a ham at christmas what are you now a jew of course not then the film will be called krampus what i like about the family is nobody is 100 perfect everybody and i mean everybody has a difficult side that'll later serve them in a troubling situation so what kind of godforsaken concoction are you ripping up now well how about we go to your trailer for christmas next year for your sake just stay the hell out of my kitchen now that's a hallmark movie title i would watch it doesn't help that max's cousin steal his letter to santa and appropriately bond over his innocent cry for help yeah that's christmas prince they knocked the out of him you might have noticed that i don't have tons of friends oh no really max i wish my mom and dad could fall in love again god this is a terrible christmas but it's a rocking festivus in that screw you dad does not wish we were boys you mean you're not i gotta change some jokes here stop making those glass sound effects you know we didn't shoot any actually breaking i just wanted christmas to be like he used to be but forget it i hate christmas i hate all of you nothing's been the same since lego starts celebrating life day i like that even the heartfelt talk isn't exactly a 100 feel-good speech either people you try to be friends with even though you don't have a whole lot in common but why okay you kind of got me there don't worry in six years time everyone will become more united i love the note he leaves on it's not the most comforting but it's the most honest maybe it makes us work a little harder to find what we do have in common do you really believe in all that i want to max and i'm sure that's enough to rekindle the christmas spirit god this movie's harsh like a pazuzu mary poppins the note is whisked away to bring a child's worst nightmares to life starting with a snowstorm keeping the family around longer huh steven gamel took up snow sculpting they get some very odd deliveries at a very odd time rich people get all the free it says it's from a mister of all evil from the flaming fires of oh i can't read it somewhere french the sister says she's unable to call her boyfriend a few blocks down so she asks if she can walk in the certain death blizzard to his house you're asking this family of course you can go she'll be fine okay one hour if you're not back by then um we're opening your gifts just kidding we didn't get your the sky goes dark and we hear the sound of sleigh bells um soa why as a large creature is seen on the rooftops tell amazon i've had worse jazz but not many i think i saw this in a movie once i'm sure the person turned out okay don't worry the family will forget she even left one of the things i like about this film is you really get a sense of the cold from the blizzard whenever they look outside i can feel the frost off the window it's that convincing though maybe that's the cold of their wavering interest in their daughter beth should be home by now she's fine she's at derek's it's already dark out and beth isn't back yet hey howard do you think your hummer could get through this mess we're going back and forth between being redeemable and human garbage we were wondering if you could help out storm probably knocked out the radio stations too what i wouldn't give her little bing crosby right about now uh that was your cue to start singing back at home there are such a clatter like eight incubi looking for guts to splatter probably just squirrels sounds dangerous max check it out see squirrels unless that squirrel looks like this that seems very unlikely probably playing with their nuts okay now i'm wishing it was her and she brought better jokes meanwhile the father and uncle make it to the boyfriend's house but fine has been broken into looks like a gas line blue that are krampus the alco gets caught in a trap and again for a pg-13 tell me if these don't sound like some gooey r-rated sound effects that sounds like eight nut sacks filled with bones that are being munched on by eight sets of teeth that also somehow have bones it really feels like they're working with what they can the father shoots the monster and they make their way back home and dorothy will keep an eye on them i never like kids all right come on guys i'm gonna teach you how to make peppermint schnapps she's like if walmart was a person as soon as everyone falls asleep those exploding squirrels they completely forgot about come down the chimney and tempt the fat kid because fat this is how rodol puts kids on a diet well the bad news is i lost our son the good news is i found a behringer kid's father grandma finally puts together what's going on and tells them the story about the krampus please listen english i knew it hey it's america learn a different language she talks about when she was in her homeland of puffs commercials her village ran out of hope and therefore christmas spirit she wished nothing but misery for her family thus krampus came to make it all come true he left me as a reminder of what happens when hope is lost and the christmas spirit dies i also wish to be a dentist but we didn't have the animation budget for that you believe this cena horseshit should be yammering about a rabid easter bunny come spring howard that's enough don't ruin the sequel

and face the evil but apparently that calvin kid's been dropping by to make more snowmen in their front yard listen to me i'm tony collette i piss horror films the family tries to figure out what to do asking grandma if there's any way to escape escape niche was to it's not what you do it's what you believe sorry i used all my english on that story i'm not even wasting subtitles on you that's kind of name on this what's she saying she says we're now don't say that again or else we can't allow kids into the theater a toast to never making sense how do you cause i'm old enough to know when life is coming at you with his pants down well at least now the girls know how they were conceived speaking of which the girls swear they hear max's sister upstairs in the attic beth you up there evie is that your crinkly radio voice we're used to meanwhile in the kitchen other things are going bump in the night i need to know which joe dante movie we're ripping off now the howling or gremlins oh toy soldiers [Music] i'll admit i don't usually like cg monsters and horror films but these gingerbread men have such playful wanton destruction it's kind of hard not to laugh along with them upstairs the girls are in the process of being eaten alive by a giant jack-in-the-box again the sound design gives the impression the scene is much grosser than it really is soviet russia jack in the box eats you oh and don't forget the christmas angel chucky birdman whatever die oh people did buy a little [Music] hey if it's not red it's not gory osmosis jones rules man they're doing all the cheats they find one of the sisters is okay but elves break in ready to finish the job okay no see you in hell should be followed by a wee sound effect maybe in terrifier but that's a big maybe they make a break for it but grandma stays behind to face krampus alone she wants to face him [Music] hey baby i like uh how much or something so confront krampus apparently means go out like a resulting in him quickly catching up to the rest of the family you will show me that wrong turn at all mccoy you have to go i need you to go all of you i love you you know this monster really helped us grow as a family maybe next year we should take our kids to see leatherface instead of santa slowly but surely everyone gets tremored to death leaving max as the last survivor hey there's no need for that language face i think that my wish oh i was kind of thinking this would end like home alone with everybody walking through the door and everybody learns a lesson and you know i think i'll keep my wish and recommend you to all my friends hail krampus take me instead oh the tears of true love hilarious bye i'm sorry okay now that i see many krampuses and movies but that design has to be in the top three he looks like he's permanently singing the last note of a metallica song he tosses him into mount doom only to discover he's back at home and everything seems to be fine oh hey there he is hey kiddo we thought the sugar plum fairies may have gotten you i had a bad dream i guess a family christmas where no one's complaining about politics this has to be phony sure enough it is as it seems like they're trapped in a snow globe along with everyone else who once lost the christmas spirit now of course this raises a bunch of questions are they really trapped in snow globes is this just how krampus keeps an eye on families is their entire world in that snow globe or does it just look like there's an entire world outside can they leave the house are they trapped there forever but all of you are forgetting the number one question did the delivery guy get a snow globe oh he did he's just still frozen in it okay i'm fine never getting answers to the rest krampus for me at least is one of those strange movies i noticed the flaws while watching being uneven boring at times and not going all the way with the humor gore or tone but for some reason i still have fond memories of that might be why people are so split on it a lot of the criticisms against it are correct it is trying to be a few too many things mean spirited heartwarming comedic dramatic gruesome safe satire legit horror had it been allowed to go all the way with an r rating i think people would have overlooked that and had fun with the creativity of the kills it's not like this director hasn't done something like that before but it's kind of like tux despite its problems it's hard for me not to remember it in a fond light i like that it combines practical effects with cg i like the creativity of the creatures i like the nods to so many things we associate with christmas both the good and the bad just like trick or treat it surrounds itself in so many things associated with the holiday while also throwing in a bunch of monsters and satire maybe i see it as the horror version of those christmas rom-coms we know they're not great but there's something fun about seeing how ridiculous they can get while also serenading in holiday porn do i wish you could have gone further on a lot of avenues sure but you can tell they were trying their all to work within the pg-13 limitations unlike other films that should have been r but were too comfortable being a pg-13 to a point where it practically felt like a pg i understand why it's a mixed bag for some but there's just enough in it for me to enjoy and seeing how its popularity seems to be growing every year i guess i'm not alone what do you think was this the right amount of cheesy horror to keep you in the christmas spirit or do you need some other christmas spirits to get through it let me know in the comments as this christmas season is just beginning i'm the nostalgia critic guy remember it does breathe more some people in chicago might really like this probably playing with their nuts hey doug walker here doing the charity shout out once again this one is uh was requested uh so thank you so much again thank you so much all the people that uh been requesting uh different charities and such uh this one is called the dig this is about uh feeding children and and adults as well in uh guatemala uh malnutrition in guatemala is a severe problem it not only inhibits the development of each child but also the development of the nation as a whole it is the goal of the dig to address these issues directly through the center of hope they provide therapies and rehabilitation opportunities for children with special needs malnourished children and their families educational programs on health nutrition and agriculture by providing access to educational and therapy programs this will aid the people to learn not only what to do but how to do it so this is obviously a really good organization we were doing some research on them and they seem to be doing uh just really really good work down there so if you can donate that be fantastic if not as always just spread the word uh you know and make more and more people aware of the good that people are doing around the world and uh you know i i think we all need reminders of that all the time so uh yeah just keep spreading the word and uh or or donate obviously that'd be a great help too so uh thank you so much and i'll see you next time take care you
