Rare Exports - A Christmas Tale

I'm quite interested in this one. It's a Finnish film based on 2 short films. In this, a team of archaeological experts have found the real Santa Claus in an excavation. But then a father and son capture him after they figure out he is the cause of a bunch of murders of both children and reindeer. Apparently, Hilarity Ensues.

. Again, this looks awesome. Can't wait for it.

"This grass feels funny," Kirby thought. "It feels like...pants."

Why is there no page for this movie yet? It is an awesome film and someone needs to do a write-up.

It starts out like it's going to be an "evil monster slowly picks off the townsfolk gorily" sort of film, but plays a lot quieter than that, with all the kids disappearing off-screen; and then near the end, it gets very Bad Ass; and then just when you think it's winding down, it earns its name with a hilarious finale of what they do with the leftover Santa's Helpers.

Only the curious have, if they live, a tale worth telling at all.

I got this on DVD a few months ago (a week before it hit the street, perks of being in Oscilloscope's Circle of Trust program). Good variation of the Santa Claus myth.

Haven't seen it yet but it's been on my list for a while. And, now that it is Christmas I'll be watching it. I highly recommend watching the original shorts (on youtube).
