10 Horror Movie Mysteries That Will Never Leave You
10. What Happened Exactly To Max's Family? - Krampus
Krampus kicks off with a young boy, Max Engel, having an argument with his dysfunctional family during Christmas, causing him to losing his holiday spirit.
Unbeknownst to Max, his actions get the attention of Santa Claus' wicked counterpart, Krampus. Furious that Max has turned his back on Christmas, the satyr unleashes his devious toys and gingerbread men on the Engels, killing the whole family.
In the end, Max tells Krampus he was wrong to lash out, and implores the menacing demon to give his family another chance. Krampus seems touched by Max's words and seemingly resets the events of the day.
Max then wakes up on Christmas, as if the whole event was a nightmare. As he's embraced by his adoring family, the camera pans out, revealing the Engels' home resides in a snow globe, inside Krampus' domain.
Wait, what? What does this mean? Are the Engels in some form of purgatory? Are they in Hell? Why is Krampus storing people in snow globes? What purpose does it serve?
Although viewers will have plenty of questions, none of them are going to be answered.
