Trivia
Paul Ferm, who played Santa Claus, is actually a former Miami area homicide detective. He actually made the child, Sean, played by Benny Weaver, cry during the "cage scene." Benny wouldn't return to the "cave" while Paul was present. Director Jason Hull had to cut a page from the script because Benny was so afraid of Paul.

Goofs
The line "I was under water, in a bag, in a frozen lake" makes little sense, nor does the likelihood of this happening.

Crazy credits
All characters are fictional. Any similarities living or dead are purely coincidental. Except KRAMPUS, he's real.

Amateurish Garbage

I believe this is the first time that I have watched a movie that is practically unanimity in the IMDb User Rating. "Krampus: The Christmas Devil" is rated one star (awful) by eight (8) users (including me) out of 10 that have written a review in IMDb (meaning 80%).

The story and screenplay are dreadful mess. The direction is awful and the performances are amateurish. There are no scenarios and the cast seems to be using the houses and the bar of friends. The lighting is inexistent and the special effects are terrible. My vote is one (awful).

Title (Brazil): "Krampus: O Justiceiro do Mal" ("Krampus: The Evil Vigilante")
