The Henry Smurf Project

About This Movie

The Henry Smurf Project is a curious blend of comedy, documentary, and horror that feels almost like a fever dream. Directed by Elvira Serio, it dives into the folklore of Catamarca, centering on an elusive goblin that locals claim exists. What sets this film apart is not just its odd premise but the eerie atmosphere created by real-life tragedies during filming—six disappearances and three violent deaths. It’s almost as if the line between the fantastical and the horrifying blurs, leaving you feeling uneasy. The pacing is a bit erratic, mirroring the chaos that surrounds the project, and the practical effects used to bring the goblin to life have a raw quality that adds to the unsettling vibe. A real conversation starter for collectors, that one.
