Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh From a filmmaking standpoint, this is movie is absolutely ludcirous, but from a pure enjoyment standpoint, it's arguably the zenith of so-bad-it's-good holiday horror. Rated: 1/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Zena Dixon Real Queen of Horror If you have a copy of it for some reason, I recommend burning it and burying the remains in an empty lot and never looking back. Rated: 0/5 Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 16, 2005 Full Review Gerry Shamray Your Movies (cleveland.com) As bad as a B-movie about killer elves can be.

Kayla A This movie takes so many unexpected turns, it is truly unpredictable. It truly achieves horror in a way that really leaves you, in the best words, thinking. Truly, one of the most movies of all time. If you are looking for Christmas fun with friends, I highly recommend. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/15/24 Full Review michael d That four star rating is for how incredibly awful this flick is! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I really liked this. A surprisingly fun and strange film about an ancient race of killer "Elves" that are after a girl. Her and friends hide out in a mall overnight, giving it a kind of Chopping Mall or Dawn of the Living Dead vibe (they make reference to it as well). The hero, a homeless, ex-detective is also hiding out in the mall after playing the mall Santa. It's a bad movie but not so bad that it isn't enjoyable. The acting and directing isn't horrible, it's just a very silly idea overall, but it's certainly a cohesive film. The creature FX are actually pretty impressive. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Ridiculous and campy. Effects were ok, it was interesting but also boring. Fun crappy Christmas B horror. What a circus. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A very goofy and (unintentionally) funny movie that feels boring sometimes, but in all is a silly good time. 10/100 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member A spectacularly stupid and hilarious movie starring a horrible puppet and the man who played Grizzly Adams. Featuring Nazis, witches, a laugh-out-loud bad puppet and some of the most bafflingly hilarious side-characters Elves is a Christmas must-see bad movie Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
