Nisser
Elves
What if the legends you heard as bedtime stories were more than mere tales? This chilling question lies at the heart of Elves, a 2021 horror fantasy anthology that reimagines Scandinavian folklore for a modern audience. Across several interconnected stories, ordinary people encounter the ancient, mischievous, and often malevolent creatures known as nisser, discovering that these beings are far from the cheerful helpers of Christmas myth. As darkness encroaches on a remote Nordic town during the holiday season, families must confront ancient pacts and buried secrets to survive. Elves masterfully blends folk horror with psychological tension, exploring themes of tradition versus modernity and the hidden darkness within familiar legends. Viewers should prepare for a visually striking and unsettling experience, where every shadow could hold a centuries-old secret. This anthology offers a fresh, atmospheric twist on holiday horror, perfect for those who enjoy their festive viewing with a generous side of dread. Directed by a collaborative team, the film presents a cohesive yet varied nightmare, ensuring that you'll never look at a snowy landscape—or a pointed hat—the same way again.
