Rare Exports





Hailing from Finland RARE EXPORTS: A CHRISTMAS TALE is the feature length version of a couple of very clever short films of the same name which you can find kicking about YouTube.

A mining excavation in the northern wilds of Finland has found what appears to be a large burial mound containing the very original manifestation of Santa Claus. This is not the Coca-Cola sponsored image of the jolly Christmas chap but rather the dark and twisted fairy tale Santa that has been diluted from. Two young boys stumble across the discovery which leads one of Santa's "helpers" to follow them home and the true dark face of the Christmas legend becomes exposed.

RARE EXPORTS is an oddity more dark fantasy than horror it could likely be marketed as a kids film if it were not for the copious amount of old mans cock swinging about during the movies climax. It Is something a little bit different but is also a little lacking, a great set-up that around the fifty minute mark begins to falter sadly does not have any better than a fair resolve favouring an action outcome over horror like a kiddies DIE HARD 2.

Not as sharp as its short film origins I get RARE EXPORTS a semi-erection.
