Mother Krampus 2: Slay Ride (2018)

Some unlikeable people with terrible attitudes go to a soup kitchen for their last day of community service. There they barely work, undermine the staff, ditch their responsibilities to go to a bar, and eventually get stuck delivering Christmas Eve dinner without supervision.  

While Victoria is sweet, Candace, Gracie and Athena are entitled, miserable assholes. They’re the type of people who think nothing is ever their fault and are condescending to everyone. It’s the cops fault they got arrested. It’s the judges fault they have community service. It’s the parole officers fault they’re at the soup kitchen. 

After doing a little cleaning, the women are sent to deliver  Christmas meals and told to spend up to a half hour with the recipients. Do you really want people with bad attitudes who are on probation going into peoples homes without being supervised? The obvious answer is no.

They end up on Dorothea’s doorstop. When she says she doesn’t want the meal, they say they have to come in for a half hour because it’s part of their duties.  Surprisingly she lets them in, but then again, she’s a psycho who has already killed the family who lives there. So I guess it doesn’t matter if she murders more people.  

There are so many questions.  What sort of parole officer brings gifts for the parolees into a charity recipients home? Who thought it was a good idea to put hobo style dirt smudges on the faces of the homeless? Why did the girls randomly sing a Christmas carol to a woman on the street who did not look pleased? Do they really have community service on Christmas Eve? How long did it take them to run out and buy a gift for Dorothea? Why did they stay longer than a half hour? Why was there a lock on the inside of the attic door and a decorated Christmas tree up there? Why would Candace bring her boyfriend to someone’s house, have sex, and then take a shower? It’s her last hours of community service. Why risk it? Oh wait, we can answer that last one because Candace is an entitled asshole. And the most important question, was anyone assigned to work continuity? Because the snow varies from shot to shot on the front porch.


Dialogue by entitled unlikeable people

Okay I’ll drink your damn cocoa.

Honey I am the naughty list.

Listen, no offense or anything…. (Words said by someone who is about to be offensive)

If I did drop this thing and break it, I’d be doing the old woman a favor.

Honestly, we have to spend a half hour here. It’s part of our duties.

We’ll only stay until our ride is here.


The homeless would be offended by this portrayal
Never let anyone force alcohol on you.
I thought the doors in this house were really cool. Then she
opened the window in one of them. Coolest doors ever.
Gracie is glaring, Victoria is drunk, and Athena is lying.
What a nice outfit for community service.
Making themselves comfortable in someone’s home
so they can open their presents from the parole officer.
Continuity issues. There’s no snow on the front steps.
Now there’s a lot of snow on the steps.
Now there’s less snow on the steps.
