The premise

Five years after the murder of his wife and disappearance of his daughter, former police officer Jeremy Duffin is brought back to help in the hunt for a yuletide monster that punishes children that have been "naughty." As the monster becomes more erratic and unpredictable, Jeremy learns the truth about the disappearance of his daughter and the fate that has been bestowed upon him by an unlikely source. Can Jeremy finally end the nightmare Christmas monster that has terrorized this town for years?

Horror Vault's take

A disgraced former cop haunted by personal tragedy is pulled back into service when a vicious yuletide creature resurfaces to prey on the wicked. The hunt for this holiday monster is anything but straightforward, as Jeremy Duffin soon discovers the lines between his own past and the beast's rampage are deeply entangled. Low-budget and rough around the edges, this indie sequel leans into its creature-feature roots with a grindhouse sensibility. If festive horror with a dark, punishing mythology is your thing, Krampus 2 swings for it.
