Krampus: The Reckoning is a horror film directed by Robert Conway and features a cast including Ashley Crow, Monica Engesser, and Camille Montgomery. It is a part of the “Krampus” subgenre, inspired by the European folklore character Krampus, a dark counterpart to Santa Claus.

The film revolves around a young girl named Anna (Camille Montgomery) who experiences disturbing visions and encounters with a malevolent entity that manifests as Krampus, a demonic figure associated with punishing misbehaving children. Anna’s troubled past and the recent death of her parents contribute to her current distress, and she finds herself in a psychiatric facility after being accused of causing the deaths of those around her.

As Krampus begins to wreak havoc and terrorize those who have wronged Anna, it becomes apparent that the entity is linked to her trauma and that her violent outbursts are connected to the supernatural occurrences. The story follows the investigation into the strange and deadly events surrounding Anna and the efforts to stop the malevolent force before more lives are lost.

Krampus: The Reckoning is known for its blend of supernatural horror with psychological drama. The film combines elements of classic horror with the mythology of Krampus, focusing on themes of punishment, retribution, and the impact of unresolved trauma.

The film received mixed reviews, with some criticism directed at its execution and production values. However, it is recognized for its attempt to explore the Krampus mythos and its contribution to the horror genre, particularly during the holiday season.
