Krampus: the Reckoning (2015)


After Zoe uses a voodoo doll to summon Krampus to kill her foster parents, she ends up at the police station. Psychologist Rachel tries to help her but Zoe is having none of it. Rachel looks into her past and finds that trouble seems to follow Zoe around.

She finds a record for Zoe that is twenty years old, which makes no sense since Zoe is a little girl. Rachel tracks down the former foster parents and they still have one photo of Zoe which confirms its the same child.  Soon after this trip Rachel, who can’t remember much of her childhood, starts having Krampus nightmares.

The funniest scene in the movie, and the only part I enjoyed watching, was when people were questioning how the foster family from twenty years ago had a picture of Zoe.  One of them says, “it could be a fake or he could be having fun with you.”  Yes, that must be it.  It was all a well planned ruse just in case twenty years later, someone unexpectedly showed up asking about their former foster child who just coincidentally looks exactly like a girl they currently have in custody. Oh the laughs we’ll have.  Seriously how could anyone plan that?
