Based on the artwork I expected this to be a medieval monster hunter film. Actually it's a sort of Brit Disturbia. Elfie and her bud Parker are stoners who want to be detectives. When a new family moves next door to Elfie she thinks they have their first chance at a real case. Since this new family looks as if they wandered straight off the set of a Tim Burton movie and disappearances spike wherever they move, it's very likely that she is right. The early scenes of Elfie and Parker getting stoned and being buddies and conducting their investigation work pretty well. When you find out what the neighbors actually are the movie runs into trouble because it never finds the proper tone for the suddenly violent scenes. Is Elfie Hopkins a horror movie? A thriller? A comedy? After watching it I couldn't really tell you. This is worth a look but I would make it a rental.

I was quite excited about this title. I read the comparisons to "Sleepy Hollow" and "Sweeney Todd" on the cover, but I have to be honest I see no similarities whatsoever. The worst part of the movie has to be the Ray Winstone's daughter playing Elfie.............this is the most glaring case of miscasting I have ever seen. The only bright spot, is the gore is quite well done!!!! I'm sad to say that other than that it comes across as amateurish with the most annoying lead actress I have seen in some time.
Format:DVD
This comes across as a meaty Midsomer Murder mystery for teenagers.It's pretty lame really but get the region 1 as it's uncut.The uk version is cut by a few seconds but a cut's a cut, just make sure your player is multi region.

Poor film

Studio plant Gary
Awful movie, no redeeming features, I would respectfully suggest 'Gary' works for or is affiliated to 'Black & Blue Studios' the makers.

A surprising gem...
Elfie Hopkins is a bit of a surprise. A title I picked up as I like Ray Winstone and saw his name connected to this title (actor, exec producer, and his daughter, Jaime, stars). Read more
