What would National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation look like if Clark and his family had to fight a bunch of killer elves? You can get a very, very close approximation in the new movie There’s Something in the Barn. It stars Martin Starr (Freaks and Geeks, Silicon Valley) as a happy-go-lucky father who moves his family to Norway only to find that an actual elf lives in their barn. The elf is cool with the family being there… until they start breaking his rules. Then all hell breaks loose.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    It stars Martin Starr (Freaks and Geeks, Silicon Valley) as a happy-go-lucky father who moves his family to Norway only to find that an actual elf lives in their barn.

    The highly enjoyable holiday horror film is available on digital download today and truly does have the spirit of those classic 1980s and 1990s movies we know and love—Gremlins, Christmas Vacation, and more—which is part of what drew Starr to the project.

    Speaking to io9, Starr spoke about comparisons to that famous Chevy Chase character, finally being the lead in his own movie, playing against type, and holiday traditions.

    We also discussed his Freaks and Geeks reunion when John Francis Daley co-directed Dungeons and Dragons, and whether he was privy to all the secrets of Spider-Man: No Way Home when his character Mr. Harrington, got to hang with Peter Parker one more time.

    We had kind of gone through the wringer a little bit and at that time I think just had a lot of scheduling conflicts, and we [were] very lucky to end up with Amrita [Acharia], who’s so good in the movie.

    It could have had a totally different name on the movie and done just as … like I think maybe some people would have found it more inviting, which is crazy to me because I played Dungeons & Dragons growing up and find it fun.
