“Gremlins” meets “Home Alone” in this playful, silly, and snarky holiday horror film about Norwegian barn elves on a rampage.

“You’re Not Me”
The theming and messaging are heavy-handed, with forceful critiques on class, control, social status, family dynamics, and the hatred of “the other.”
“The Coffee Table”
This unrelenting, bleak domestic drama with a sinister streak is one of the darkest films I have ever seen.
“Bark”
The reveal is disturbing and upsetting, but it comes so far out of left field that it’s quite not as rewarding as I’d like.
“Mushrooms”
Toys with time, intentions, trust, perception, and manipulation in a way that’s unanticipated and rewarding.
“The Uncle (Stric)”
A highly unsettling holiday horror comedy with a squirm level that is off the charts.
