Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (2010)
Few days ago after watching 80's American slasher
Silent Night, Deadly Night for the first time, I was thinking this would be another new take on Slasher-Santa kind of story. But I was completely wrong. This is a very original & interesting Dark-horror-comedy from Finland. My suggestion...when you're going to watch this film please don't try to predict the story or expect too much from it. This is definitely a good movie with a nice cast, great production value & sharp direction. The thing is for the first two-third of the film the way it build up the kind of hype (like in the creature feature or monster films) and left me waiting for a big-bloody-climax...that ultimately never arrives. But the ending wasn't disappointing at all which was rather pretty amusing also. May be it wasn't up to it's full potential but still I must say you won't be disappointed to see a very original & funny take on the dark side of Father Christmas.
