OUT 1 DECEMBER CINEMAS
The promise of the Northern). An American family moves to Norway for Christmas, expecting twinkly fairy-tale magic. Yet the resident barn elves have rules, style, and they get pissy when they're broken. Martens fumbles the tonal balance initially, the laughs/scares muffling each other. But as the siege-like mood develops, the blood taps are opened: between impaled elves and explosive baubles, there's seasonal slaughter with glee.
