Elves

Interesting idea but the plot holes were a bit like chasms.

If you are guarding such a secret it seems silly to encourage tourists.

The biggest plot hole was what exactly were the Elves doing whilst the humans were constructing an electric fence around their wood?

The ending was predictable as were the actions of Josephine our 12 year old protagonist. But in reality no 12 year old girl anywhere is that stupid.

Spoiled strong willed brat causes of death of multiple people because she feels has right to do anything she wants. First she kidnaps an elf child so she can have a pet because her parents wouldn't let her have a dog or a cat. Typical Z generation, doesn't care what the consequences she causes to others and acts if she's the victim because she can't have her pet. The elf child escapes and tries to return to her kind but the brat wants her pet back and kills an adult elf; again she feels the victim.

Imagine having a great concept for a fantasy horror show and ruining it with cliched characters and bad acting.

Here's a plot summary: People get killed because disobedient child thinks murderous monsters are pets.

I'm not sure how accurate the English translation is, but the parents, the Dad especially, is a complete a-hole. Mocking his own kids for every tiny emotion they have, asking his young teen son if he "slipped the tongue" to a young girl he just met, offering them pot brownies, undermining his wife at every turn... his son is not much better, and the wife is dismissive and just a terrible mom in general.

Trite, predictable, frustrating, and completely lacking in pay off. Highly suggest a hard pass.

I kept wishing that the annoying little girl get eaten by the elves.

The story and idea is great, the setting, the music and the slow reveal of the creatures are amazing. However, the acting... Especially that girl was terrible. She did everything you should not do.

I was really rooting for the monsters to get her.
