Review of Elves (1989) by Tim W — 17 Dec 2016
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.
