Anyone a swedish horror fan? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marianne_(2011_film) would be good. I haven't seen it but it looks interesting.
Just to make sure we’re not at cross purposes, I wasn’t bagging on Tolkien (huge fan), simply pointing out that when people think ‘elves’ they go right to Tolkien’s version. And this is fine as far as it goes. But a lot of people seem unaware that elves vary pretty widely depending on the culture that created them.
I’m happy (but unsurprised) that you’re not one of those people.
