"Krampus Unleashed" begins with bandits who buried their stealings all throughout the Arizona deserts in the late 1800s while running from the law, then jumps into people who retrieved their maps years later, scavenging through the Arizona deserts, looking for the buried treasures. What they do not know is that the buried treasure they dig up includes a big special stone that will awaken Krampus if it is found and picked up, then Krampus will come to hunt down whoever awoken him and anybody who gets in his way. It then fast forwards to the present day where families are traveling to the Arizona suburbs to visit their parents and relatives for the Christmas holidays. After getting together, the topic of the old treasures buried by the bandits back when that land was still desert gets brought up, and they decide to take a hike out to where some of the treasures are believed to be buried to see if they can dig up anything. A small boy finds a unique looking rock that is uncommonly smooth instead of rough and hard like most rocks. Even his father and uncle are amazed by that find as they had never seen anything like that before either. The boy decides to take it home with him. That rock, of course, turns out to be the rock that awakens Krampus if it is found and picked up. Krampus then arrives to kill and eat them and the locals. This is actually one of the scarier of the Krampus movies as he does eat the flesh of his victims like a savage wild beast, and it is shown in god graphic and gory detail. There is also a lot of good slasher scenes as he slashes a lot of his victims viciously and quickly with his huge sharp claws. There is also plenty of humorous dialogue to keep it entertaining during the non-scary scenes. The characters are also well developed in this one as well. There is even a scene where a stubborn hot headed teen with a real bad arrogant attitude gets it in a very humorous way. The blood, gore, and visual effects are also overall well done for a limited budget. This one should definitely appeal to those who like any of the other Krampus movies besides the one from 2015.
