Mother Krampus
Horror94 min
Over the 12 days of Christmas, the legend of Frau Perchta hangs over Mother Krampus: a witch from seasonal folklore said to come each night and take a child. Claire-Maria Fox and Tony Manders are part of the ensemble in a holiday horror story built around that myth, where each passing night brings the threat closer to home. The film ties Christmas tradition to child-stealing folklore, using the countdown of the 12 days as the engine of its setup and centering its fear on children, winter ritual, and an old supernatural warning.
