A Norwegian horror comedy about an American and his family moving to his ancestral family home in Norway, where they encounter a mischievous barn elf that gives them some trouble. It's a little bit of Gremlins and a little bit of Rare Exports. I thought it was great. Way more silly and fun than I expected, and I found the family dynamics very heartwarming and the Christmas theme very festive. I especially love that white and blue Norwegian landscape set against the red and greens of Christmas. I'm probably giving this one way too much credit, but it's something I'd definitely revisit for the holidays.
