The premise
Jeremy, a local police officer leads a life of a confusing past, spending his current time searching for his kidnapper as a child. After other children begin missing, Jeremy pieces together the truth and realizes that his childhood kidnapper could be a creature of ancient yuletide lore, Krampus, who is the brother of St. Nick, and punisher of children who perform acts of unspeakable evil without repercussion. Can Jeremy kill Krampus and prevent more missing children?
Horror Vault's take
A small-town cop haunted by a mysterious childhood abduction finds his past crashing into his present when local children begin vanishing around the holiday season. His investigation draws him toward a terrifying figure rooted in ancient Christmas folklore — a horned punisher of wicked children known as Krampus. Equal parts police procedural and seasonal creature feature, the film leans into the darker mythological side of yuletide tradition. Whether Jeremy can face the truth of his own history and stop the killings drives the story toward a grim confrontation.
