A trailer for the new Danish series Elves from Netflix turns a holiday outing meant to reconnect a family into something much more dark and sinister.

Clocking in at just over two minutes, the new trailer sets the eerie tone right from the beginning. A family of four is driving to their Christmas getaway, singing carols and engaging in some sibling rivalry, when their car hits something on the road. They’re quickly shooed off by a local, but by the time they arrive at their cabin the daughter is still fixated on figuring out what it was. While the father is dismissive, the daughter is undeterred and rides back to the scene of the accident on her bike. There she finds a tiny creature that looks part adorable and part alien: a baby version of the titular elves. And from there, the story takes off into full horror mode.

There is another creepy local, who is part of a strange religious sect that had worked out a form of a harmonious co-existence with the elves until modernization ruined it. “How come there’s a fence in the forest?” asks the daughter over a shot of the formidable fortification. “Because we once lived in harmony with nature,” the local woman explains, “until people came here who’d rather live off it.”

More of the insular community is introduced and the daughter goes into Hermione in SPEW mode, deciding the elves are being held against their will. “Maybe it’s not to cage them in there,” the brother opines in opposition to her wish to help the creatures. “Maybe it’s to protect the rest of us.”

From there, we catch our first fleeting glimpse of a full-grown elf, see a shot of the forest fence with a hole ripped in it and tensions rise with the locals, all while the daughter is undeterred in her quest to free the elves. There’s gunshots, screams, haunting music and another creepy shot or two of the adult elves. It becomes clear that the daughter has upset the delicate balance of this remote island and the elves are out for either blood, revenge or both.

Created by Stefan Jaworski and starring Sonja Sofie Engberg Steen, Ann Eleonora Jørgensen, Peder Thomas Pederson, Vivelill Søgaard Holm and several actors listed as “Grown Up Elf” — which does not bode well for the leads — the Danish streaming series Elves premieres on Netflix on Nov. 28.
