Watch Elves

Elves is a horror movie released in 2017 and directed by Jamaal Burden. The movie stars Stephanie Marie Baggett, Chelsea Bella, and Lori Bocanegro. The film is set during the Christmas season and follows the story of a group of friends as they discover a mysterious elf doll in an abandoned house. The movie begins with a group of friends: Amber (Bocanegro), Jessica (Bella), and Katie (Baggett), who are on their way to spend Christmas at Amber's grandmother's house. Along the way, they decide to stop by an abandoned mansion to do some exploring. Inside the mansion, they find a mysterious elf doll that seems to come to life after they unwittingly break a taboo by touching it. Since then, they unknowingly released the wrath of the elf who is determined to punish them for their sins.

At first, strange things begin to happen to the friends, who are being stalked and attacked by the elf, which at first they brush off as nothing more than a coincidence. However, as the attacks escalate, they begin to suspect that something more sinister is at work.

As the movie goes on, the group begins to unravel the mystery behind the elf's origins and motives. Unbeknownst to them, the elf was crafted by a sinister, cult-like organization that believes in the power of the ancient gods to whom they offer sacrifices. The elf is part of their ritualistic beliefs and requires blood sacrifice to maintain its powers. This knowledge leads the group on a race against time as they try to survive the elf's wrath and uncover the truth behind the elf's origins.

The movie is a thrilling ride from start to finish, with a strong cast that delivers an exceptional performance. The film's cinematography expertly creates a tense atmosphere during the numerous chase scenes and adds to the suspense of the movie. The music score follows suit and creates a haunting melody that adds to the sheer terror of the movie.

The movie is not entirely without its faults, however. Its plot is not particularly unique, and the elf concept feels overused at times. Some of the dialogue and scenes may come off as cheesy or predictable, which may detract from the overall immersive experience. Nevertheless, the movie excels at generating suspense and jump scares, which will keep the audience on the edge of their seats throughout.

Overall, Elves is a well-crafted horror movie that delivers on its promises of scares and gore. It may not be the most original plot, but the execution of the movie is exceptional, making it worthy of your time. The film's core competence lies in its ability to create a tense, chilling atmosphere that will grip you from start to finish. If you're a fan of horror movies or looking for a good scare this season, Elves is a must-watch.
