When a new age, nuclear, family pull up their American roots to relocate to Norway- after inheriting a "devil house" from the man's extended family- they try to fit in...but things don't exactly go as planned.
Because there is something living in their barn.
Their adolescent son quickly figures out what it is...and makes friends with it.
But no one believes him.
So when he tries to teach them the rules (on how not to piss it off).
They don't listen...and break every one of them.
However, it is one act that pushes things over the edge...
Thus turning this festive comedy into a complete horror show.
Albeit one made for children.
Is it the most innovative Christmas horror film ever?
No.
Is it the most gory Christmas horror film alltime?
Surely not.
Hell...it's not even the scariest Christmas horror film to come out of Norway.
But it's great fun!
With a decent amount of gore.
And a whole lot of laughs.
Though, not so much to make it unfit for kids.
So, if you are the type of family to watch an annual Christmas horror...and you got some kids you want to scare the "niceness" into.
This film is a great choice.
Norway definitely knows how to do it.
Except in the case of lutefisk.
Everyone hates that crap.
