Likewise, the film also manages to get some enjoyable aspects out of the enhanced screen-time they actually get in the film. There's a fine energy to these scenes that were missing from the previous entry and serves the purpose of its true origins taking out naughty children that need it. The demented torture scene where the kids are tortured in the shack by Santa and Krampus while eerie Christmas music plays over the scene as the demented characters dole out cruel torture and punishment to children is a fantastic idea overall to show what's going on. They're still not that great, but the opening abduction of the two kids from the abandoned house or a later scene of the creature stealing the kid from his bedroom while his mother smokes unaware outside are much creepier than the original. One of the strongest aspects present here is the stronger scenes of the child abductions which are far better than the original.

After a series of child abductions, a former officer whose wife was murdered and daughter went missing several years earlier is called back to his home-town to deal with the new crime-spree and finds the deranged Krampus at the cause of the missing children's cases and sets out to stop it once and for all.
