Elves
They're Not Working For Santa...Anymore
Directed by Jeffrey Mandel
Produced by Triangle Film Corporation, Fitzgerald Film Corporation
A deeply bizarre and bleak horror film that weaponizes Christmas imagery and mythology to explore grotesque themes of Nazi eugenics and family corruption.
While conducting a pagan ritual in the woods with her friends, Kirsten inadvertently awakens the spirit of a demonic Christmas elf involved in a neo-Nazi plot to bring about the master race. After the rent-a-Santa in her department store is murdered, an unemployed, alcoholic ex-cop takes the job and the two set out to unravel the mystery.
