Extremely terrible acting. I'm not an actor, but I know I could do way better with no practice. The fight scene was the worst. Second worst movie I have ever seen.

Krampus 2: The Devil Returns (2016) is a movie I recently rewatched on Tubi. The storyline follows Krampus' return to the same small town we recently saw him in and he's out for revenge. Jeremy returns to town when he hears about the murders to stop Krampus and hopefully discover what happened to his daughter who disappeared in the last movie. This movie is directed by Jason Hull (Chasing Darkness) and stars R. A. Mihailoff (Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III), Shawn C. Phillips (Ghost Shark), Melantha Blackthorne (Deathrace) and Tiffani Fest (Circus of the Dead). The good - Santa's ball busting in this is hilarious and it's always fun seeing Krampus dragging children in a bag. Unfortunately the storyline is awful, Krampus' voices is poorly done and the acting is miserable. The entire romance elements in this is painful to view. There aren't even any worthwhile kill scenes in this. Overall, this is a low budget dreadful movie I highly recommend never watching. I'd score this a 1.5/10 and recommend skipping it.

Should've stiff after the first one which was also a piece of garbage. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to make movies

First, this is not a sequel. Second, this can't even be considered a B movie. It's way below. From horrible acting all the way down writing, directing sound, and probably catering

How in the world did somebody film this and think, "yeah this is good, let's put it out" dude, my nine year old could've done a better title screen, wtf was the fog??? what is going on in these peoples heads when they're putting all of this together lmao. at first I was like, is this a parody? like there's no way that somebody made this and thought it was good afterwards. the camera angles are so bad. bad directing. awful production. the acting is the worst part. I mean listen- I love a good b movie. but this is just..so unbelieveably bad I honestly want to go throw the whole thing in my firepit and try to wipe it out of my brain forever .

What a waste of time. I would also say talent but none exists here.

After a series of child abductions, a former officer whose wife was murdered and daughter went missing several years earlier is called back to his home-town to deal with the new crime-spree and finds the deranged Krampus at the cause of the missing children's cases and sets out to stop it once and for all. This one wasn't as bad as the first one. One of the strongest aspects present here is the stronger scenes of the child abductions which are far better than the original. They're still not that great, but the opening abduction of the two kids from the abandoned house or a later scene of the creature stealing the kid from his bedroom while his mother smokes unaware outside are much creepier than the original. The demented torture scene where the kids are tortured in the shack by Santa and Krampus while eerie Christmas music plays over the scene as the demented characters dole out cruel torture and punishment to children is a fantastic idea overall to show what's going on. There's a fine energy to these scenes that were missing from the previous entry and serves the purpose of its true origins taking out naughty children that need it. Likewise, the film also manages to get some enjoyable aspects out of the enhanced screen-time they actually get in the film. The abduction scenes in the beginning are just one example of that, while the scenes of them sitting around discussing the various children they need to collect and how to do it to avoid suspicion adds a lot o their scenes as this keeps the action moving smoother than expected. The finale, bringing together both storylines in the raid on the hideout where the biker has taken them for revenge against his brother as well as the final revelation about the historical connections that have been running throughout the two films which get rather dark with the truth about what happened to him and his daughter. As well as the much more imposing Krampus mask that looks much better than before as well as the enjoyably grim ending, these here hold the film up overall. The film does have some issues. One of the biggest problems is the unnecessary plotline throughout here about the biker seeking revenge on the policeman for the death of his brother, which is a fine carry-over from the original but serves the same function as the original did in not serving a purpose beyond adding to the running time. It's an issue you don't care about at all and serves to get the name guest-star involved in the proceedings but beyond that is just a useless segment that doesn't need to be in a film barely over an hour and ten minutes. The cheapness of the film is still quite apparent and obvious throughout here, ranging from the backyard guerrilla filming feel to the lack of real lighting in the night-time scenes and the flimsy martial arts choreography for the fight scenes that give away what a low-budget tone this one has. These here are what hold this one back. Rated R: Graphic Language, Violence, Brief Nudity and a sex scene.

This was one of the worst movies i have seen. Bad picture, sound, acting. I thought this was a sequel of Krampus: The Christmas Devil but it wasn't and that ruined my happiness for this. It was so fake and terrible. A dang shame this wasn't any good. Hopefull Michael Dougherty will do a sequel to his own that will be spectacular. But this? Just awful. Please do not watch. Waste of time.

KRAMPUS 2: THE DEVIL RETURNS is a diabolically bad indie horror sequel to a film you never saw in the first place. It's a story about the infamous Christmas bogeyman but you wouldn't know it from the actuality of the production, which merely consists of non-actors stumbling their way around snowbound locations and discussing local folklore. Oh, and there's a cameoing Santa Claus to boot. It's vapid and tedious in equal measure.
