Positioning ambiguous

Originally I watched it for elves and childlike fun, but I found that this film almost became a horror chase film, but the beautiful and handsome man was replaced by an invincible brave child and mother, and the murderous demon was replaced by a CG monster.

The appearance of the housekeeper elf is a small surprise, cute And it's funny, but unfortunately the plot is single, coming and going is just how to get rid of the big monster's pursuit, the theme is quite vague. In the end, the reunion of father and daughter is a bit fairy tale, and other parts are too "realistic", not highlighting the presence of elves The character characteristics of this film. The Gryphon is a bit similar to the Hippogriff in "Harry Potter".

Probably because of cost constraints, it is not "fantasy" enough, and it is a pity that the theme is excellent. And the biggest failure is the big monster His death was too hasty, making people feel like they were suddenly woken up at the climax of the drama.
