So, what's school like out here?
We don't have a school here.
My grandmother teaches me.
Why come here?
[inhales]
It's my parents.
They work a lot, so I guess they thought
it'd be nice if we had Christmas together.
- And we should do it
- Where there's nothing.
[chuckles] No. No.
No, that's not
There's lots of stuff here.
Mm-hmm.
You've got the harbor, and
the forest and
[pensive music playing]
[girl] Look.
The sky and the ocean
melt into one another.
It's beautiful.
I guess you can't see it.
[scoffs] Yeah, I see it.
It's It's really cool.
[snickers]
[birds squawking]
[ominous music playing]
I have to go.
I have to get home.
Now?
This isn't a good idea, okay?
No. Liv, hold on!
You shouldn't have come here.
[birds squawking]
They're fleeing from the forest.
Yeah.
[Karen] Something's wrong in there.
Sacrifice another one.
Yeah.
Anders?
[cow mooing]
Load her on to the trailer.
No. Not Dina.
Stop naming them. They're just food.
[Kasper]
We just went for a walk and that was it.
[Charlotte] No. Tell me how it went?
- Was it fun?
- What?
- Did you slip her a tongue?
- Seriously? Too much.
- [Kasper] Will you stop?
- [Mads] Morning.
- Morning.
- [Charlotte] Morning, hon.
[Mads] Have some breakfast.
- Did you sleep okay?
- [Jose] Mm-hmm.
[Mads] We're hearing about
your brother's date this morning.
- Will you stop it, huh?
- [whispers] It didn't go well.
[inhales] What happened here?
Nothing.
Let me see. What happened?
Hmm.
I cut it on the window.
You cut yourself on a window?
- Could be a nail.
- [Charlotte] In your room?
What were you doing?
It's fine. I'm okay. It doesn't hurt.
Honey, can you check out
Josefine's room when you get a chance?
Yes. Can I see it?
- It's fine. It's nothing.
- [Charlotte] Sure.
- You don't need to do that.
- Let's at least put a bandage on it, okay?
- This might sting a bit.
- [Kasper] Aw.
There you go.
Listen, kids, we got off
to a bit of a rocky start yesterday.
Mm-hmm.
Your Dad and I thought we might go look
for a Christmas tree together,
the four of us.
- [Kasper] Just like that? Okay.
- [Mads] Yeah.
Now?
Right after breakfast.
Well, it's just that I was hoping
to stay home so I could read.
You always say I don't read enough
and I need 20 minutes, even on vacation.
- [Mads] Mm-hmm.
- Right?
- Yeah.
- Hmm.
Well But listen, Jose,
we won't be gone for long
That's a good idea.
Josefine will stay and read,
and we'll get a Christmas tree, right?
We wanted it to be all of us.
The whole family.
What your mom is trying to say is
it's a good thing you're reading.
And if you think it's a good idea
for you to stay home and read today,
then we trust you're old enough
to do that by yourself.
- Right?
- [Kasper] If she's not going, I'm not!
- You're going.
- You're going.
- [somber music playing]

[glass clinking]
[chains rattling]
[chains continue rattling]
I won't hurt you.
I wanna help you.
Where are you?
- [clattering]
- [Jose gasps]
There you are.
- [creature purring]
- Hi!
Um
I have some food for you.
It's an apple.

[ominous musical flourish]
[electricity buzzing]
[cow mooing]
[birds squawking in distance]
[Anders chattering indistinctly]
- [cow mooing]
- [Anders] You're okay.
Anders?
Good girl. Yeah?
- You go. I have to check something.
- I can't do that.
Of course you can.
It's not your first time.
Yeah, but not alone.
Get in quickly in and get out.
They won't hurt you.
- Okay?
- Yeah.
[ominous music building]
Dina. It's okay now.
[engine turns over]
[Mads] What out.
You'll scratch the sunroof, Kasper.
[Kasper]
This is way too big. Ow. Dad. Damn it!
You hit his head. Be careful, honey.
It's perfect. Just enough room for it.
Look at its trunk.
Thick enough to carry
the weight of Porky Claus.
Porky Claus is disgusting, Dad.
- It's not disgusting.
- It is a bit gross.
It's going on the tree like every year.
It's tradition that Porky Clause hangs
from the tea. And he's going to this year.
Honey. Honey!
Hi.
[engine halts]
Getting some fresh air?
Yes, it's so
beautiful here.
Mm-hmm.
And I see you found a tree.
Yeah, it, uh
Yeah, we found it.
Yes, it was just lying over there,
so so we picked it up.
This is Mads, my husband.
- And our boy, Kasper.
- [Mads] Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
- Hi.
[Mads clears throat]
Årmandsø Island is a nature preserve.
[engine turns over]
- I think I mentioned that last time.
- Sure.
I thought so.
What did I tell ya?
Don't laugh. It's not funny.
Stop it.
We just come along
and ruin their natural surroundings.
Look, when you take an ax to a tree
it's already nicked, right?
[suspenseful music playing]
- [creature purring]
- Don't be afraid.
I just want to put this on you.
It's a
a bandage.
It has to go on your leg.
Look.
I have one.
Yes. Come.
I'm Josefine.
Who are you?
[creature purring]
Can you talk?
[creature groans] Jose phine.
Yes.
Josefine.
- [door rumbles ]
- [creature yelps]
- Wait.
- [Kasper] Jose, are you in here?
[sighs]
[Kasper] Jose?
[scoffs] What are you doing?
Mom said you're not allowed here.
- I'm in the middle of something.
- Can you come down?
They're looking for you.
I'm not gonna decorate
the stupid tree alone.
Hurry up, you loser. Okay?
It's so gross in here.
- What the hell are you doing?
- Nothing.
It's none of your business.
[creature yelps]
Fuck!
Look up there!
I think it's a rat.
It's not a rat.
What?
It's the thing we hit.
Yesterday I went back to the woods,
and it's hurt.
- I'm trying to help it.
- You brought a rat from the forest?
- You can't tell anyone.
- We're not supposed to be in here.
- Okay? Time to go.
- No, I have to help it.
- Jose, you're not going to help it.
- I'm going to help!
Then I'll tell Dad. He'll get rid of it.
Kasper, wait!
Kasper!
- Kasper it needs help.
- It's not our responsibility.
Yes, it is!
Our car hit it.
We have to help it.
If we weren't fighting,
it wouldn't have happened.
Talk to Mom and Dad.
No!
They think I'm a baby
who can't do anything.
[Charlotte] Jose?
- Come on, Kasper.
- [Charlotte] Kasper!
[footsteps approaching]
Where were you?
Why haven't you changed?
- [Jose] It's It's
- Kasper?
She's just being a weirdo.
It's nothing new.
[Charlotte] Okay. Come on.
We're decorating the tree.
And talk nicely to your sister, okay?
["We Wish You a Merry Christmas" playing]
[Charlotte] Looks good.
We wish you a merry Christmas
And a happy New Year ♪
[Mads]
He's good-looking, isn't he, Porky Claus?
Right here.
Good tidings for Christmas
And a happy New Year ♪
So
- Want another?
- Yeah.
[Mads] Yeah, could be, you know.
- A relative?
- Didn't want to say anything.
But you're starting to look more like him.
[ominous music playing]
We wish you a Merry Christmas ♪
And a happy New Year ♪
[ominous music continues]
[Kasper] Where are you going?
[Christmas music playing on radio]
You're not going alone.
I just covered for you, Jose!
I want to see it.
Or I do I tell Mom and Dad?
Do you think they'd let you keep it?
- You're a dick.
- You're an asshole.
- You're a bigger asshole.
- Hey, kids?
Are you okay? You coming?
- [Kasper] Be right there.
- I got pot brownies.
Yeah? Real funny.
If you're coming,
you'll do exactly what I say.
- Shut up!
- No. I mean it.
[suspenseful music playing]
We're going for a walk.
Are you coming?
Are you scared?
Where are you?
Jose, watch out.
[creature groaning in pain]
You're not feeling good.
Easy.
[groaning continues]
Shh. Come here.
I won't hurt you.
Yeah.
Good.
Shh. Oh dear.
[Kasper] What the hell is that?
You're okay. There.
It's okay.
I won't hurt you,
but I have to do something about that leg.
Can you cut this?
Kasper?
I think we should probably clean it first.
- [creature groans]
- Shh.
Don't worry.
It's okay.
Now I'll clean it.
[creature yelps]
What is it?
Damn, it's ugly.
You are ugly.
[Kasper] Maybe we should
give it something for the pain.
Okay.
[creature cooing]
Now it's your turn.
It'll be alright.
[cow mooing]
[ominous music building]
- [Kasper] It might bite you.
- [Jose] Why would it bite me?
- Relax.
- I'm serious.
- You don't know what it is.
- Kasper, you said you would help me.
They have to get their baby back.
Just do what I tell you.
[Jose continues indistinctly]
Anders!

- [Anders panting]
- Anders, it's Møller.
- [radio buzzes]
Yeah.
- [on radio] Are you still in there?
- Yes, but
- I'm almost out.
- You have to get out now. Quickly.
Okay. I'm almost out.
Somehow, one of their young
has gotten out. You have to leave. Now!
[creatures grumbling]
Møller? I can hear them.
- You have to get out of there. Run!
- [radio buzzes]
[Anders on radio]
Møller, hurry! They're coming!
[groans] Shit!
