Macabre, peculiar alternative Xmas film

"We are standing on the biggest burial mountain in the world..."

Over the years, filmmakers have inundated us with movies depicting Santa Claus as a jolly old fat man who delivers presents to all the boys and girls around the world. However, 2010's contentedly macabre Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale proposes that this fictionalised "Coca-Cola Santa" was invented to cover up who Santa... read more

"3.12. 2023 A mysterious monster that likes to slaughter reindeers poses a threat to people of Northern Finland but a little boy may have some ideas on how to fight against it. The concept behind Jalmari Helander's "Rare Exports" is more interesting than the film itself. It takes way too long for anything to happen in the story and character development is basically nonexistent. Why should we care what happens to the characters if we know nothing about their backgrounds? When something finally s"

"Forget what you may have learned about Santa's origins in the Santa Claus Is Coming To Town tv special. This movie shows that St. Nick started out more as a punishing vigilante whose purpose was rooted in a dark quest for justice against those youngins who ended up on the naughty list. Back then, it was the bad kids who had to "put one foot in front of the other" as they ran like hell if they wanted even the slimmest chance of living long enough to see the New Year. "

"First viewing - March 13th This was fine. I originally started to watch it the Friday night before, but fell asleep because of the pacing. I picked it back up where it lost me and managed to finish it without issue. It's an interesting story, a different take on Xmas, and I appreciated some aspects of it. At the same time there was nothing that especially impressed me or endeared itself to me, so in the end it was just something I watched and wouldn't likely revisit."

"Helanderin täysi pitkä Rare Exports oli rutkasti muistikuvia huonompi. Eihän tässä tapahtunut mitään, CGI oli pistävän rumaa ja näyttelystä ei voi sanoa paljonkaan hyvää. Jorma Tommilan kyrpä otsassa meiningistä jäi sentään vähäksi aikaa jouluinen mieli. Taidettiinpa tässä puhua myös siitä kuuluisasta jouluntaiasta."

"This is good movie (one of the best finnish movies in years) but the small budget really shows in the awful CGI at the latter half of the movie. "
