Is this the only Xmas movie where the lead character's mother stuffs her cat in a sack and violently drowns it in a toilet? #HopefullyNot

I have to say, I really liked Elves. Its the best kind of bad movie: one that manages to be fun and entertaining throughout. It is obvious from the beginning that the movie is not taking itself seriously, its aware of how absurd its premise is (elves, Nazis, Satan... all working together to bring about the Anti-Christ), and I often found myself laughing with the movie, not just at it. That said, this is a terribly made film with plenty to make you chuckle. Its got low-budget production, and awful performances, save for Dan Hagarty, whose low-key, ultra-laid back performance is bizarrely amazing. I thought Elves was just wonderful.

This is a very underated horror film from the alter 80's. To my knowledge it doesn't even have a dvd release. Which stinks cause i would probably get this movie. This does fall under the category of so bad it's good. I mean it's about killer Nazi elves. Also the mother drowns the cat in the toilet. This movie is ridiculous. It doesn't reach Troll 2 level or Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2, but it's still pretty ridiculous. The plot is just plain silly. The acting is bad. The script works though. My favorite line is a parody of the famous Dawn of the Dead line. "When there is no more room in hell, the elves will walk the earth." Okay they changed like one word but it's still funny. If you like ridiculous horror check it out. If I ever see this on Dvd or Vhs I will pick it up. Worth a watch.

Such a obscene fucking plot. Yet.... you can't hate it, at least I can't, because it's just so damn outrageous. Not to mention you meet one of the most vile characters in movie history, the mother. Who has no problems killing a cat just because she can. We can't forget about dan haggerty's character, down on his luck ex-detective who lost his job because of his drinking. He's cleaning himself up but gets tangled in a whole different mess. His new job is mall santa, someone pisses on him first day, but then he gets wrapped up in this elf business. The way he rambles on, you think he was drinking again. But alas, he puts all the pieces together in one fucked up turn of events. They certainly don't make 'em like this anymore.

My hope that this was just a Gremlins rip-off and not a hackneyed creature feature with Nazi experiments and incest got dashed quickly. Much of the first half of the film is just watching teenage girls angst and giggle about boys. Then whenever the elves show up, they look too embarrassingly cheap to show for more than a few seconds. Zany as the plot may be, nothing about this actually works and it's only horrifyingly boring.

so.... first of all there's only one elf. and he is brought here because of a Nazi experiment in breeding that involves this dumb mall girl who and her friends happen to be the lamest witches you've ever seen. King bear Dan Haggerty, the chain smoking, maybe homeless mall Santa is the only one who can smash the Nazi Elf witchcraft threat. if only it was actually as fun as it sounds.

I put off watching this movie for years. I didn't have high hopes for it but I am running out of Christmas themed horror movies to watch so I finally gave it a shot. I really regret waiting so long. It is easily one of my favorite Christmas horror movies, right up there with Jack Frost and Black Christmas. The dialogue is hilarious, the script is whacked out, the elf puppet looks like a cross between Marilyn Manson, a gremlin, and a bucket of cheap latex, and Dan Haggerty gets to run around chainsmoking while flexing his beard.

Daft Christmas horror with puppets and unintentional laughs aplenty.
