Elfie Hopkins: Cannibal Hunter
Elfie Hopkins
An aspiring teen detective stumbles into her first real case, when investigating the mysterious new family in her neighborhood.
Why it matters
A quirky blend of teen noir and cannibal horror that marries youthful curiosity with grisly suspense.
- Charlotte Salt’s Elfie is a rare horror heroine who’s as clever as she is fearless, grounding the film’s oddball tone.
- Practical effects deliver some satisfyingly grotesque moments that nod to ’80s creature features without feeling dated.
- The film’s foggy Welsh setting adds an eerie, claustrophobic atmosphere that amplifies the small-town paranoia.
- Fans of genre mashups and offbeat indie horrors will appreciate its earnestness, even when the plot gets a bit uneven.
