KRAMPUS TRAILER RELEASED (DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS)

[Tender Branson]

... for a German film.

It's an American movie, not a German one - as you can clearly see from the trailer.

It's just the German version of the trailer you posted.

Will you watch this movie...and post a review on its cultural accuracy?

Maybe, but I can already tell from the trailer that it's not culturally accurate:

Krampus does not come during the Christmas Days to punish naughty children, but on or before/after the days of St. Nicholas Day (Dec. 6). The movie is set around Christmas, which is wrong - but commercially (for an American movie) understandable ...

Also, if you want to see the real horror - just come to Austria during late November/early December and watch the actual Krampus (and not the commercialized Hollywood-constructed thing):

Isn't this coming out in a few days?  Are any of you going to watch it?

Other than Tender.........no.

I probably won't watch it either, because I have the real stuff right around me these days ...

[Tender Branson]

Not bad I guess.

I wish they didn't mix up Krampus with Christmas, because it has nothing to do with it.

Krampus is the evil companion of St. Nicholas, who visits children today @ St. Nicholas Day to hand them over chocolate/nuts/tangerines.

Too bad Hollywood decided to insert Christmas into this story, which does not make sense culturally. And clowns ... WTF ?

Anyway, Mr. Morden: The answers to your questions are No & No.

The real thing is of course much better than the movie:

Do you expect "Krampus" to break all box office records in Austria?  Will Syrian refugees be sent to the movie to inform them of what they've gotten themselves into?

Anyway, Mr. Morden: The answers to your questions are No & No.

I was actually wrong on question 1 ... LOL:

[Tender Branson]

So it sounds like you watched the movie in an Austrian cinema?  Was there any way to gauge how the other viewers responded?  Did people laugh at certain parts because of the historical/cultural inaccuracies?

I have not seen the movie yet in cinema. I probably wait until I can download it somewhere.

I'd love a Quentin Tarantino movie though, called "Krampus Unchained" feat. Christoph Waltz, Arnold Schwarzenegger and a few others ...
