Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale
Directed by Jalmari Helander
In this darkly comic gem, it's Christmas Eve in northern Finland, and an archeological dig has just unearthed Santa Claus. But this Santa isn't one you want coming to town. When local children begin disappearing, Pietari and his father capture the mythological being and attempt to sell Santa to the corporation sponsoring the dig. (In Finnish with English subtitles.) Guest Curator, Elijah Wood: "Absolutely adore this genre/action/adventure Christmas movie. The impending doom of a giant evil Santa Claus caught in melting ice, whilst his creepy old man elves reek havoc, is fantastic dark Christmas fun."
A Finnish archeological dig has unearthed a very dark Santa Claus in this acclaimed gem.

omg waste of bloody film and time.
One of my favorite Christmas themed horror movies that really tackles horror at the cosmic level while also being a story about family.
Really fun movie!
Why aren’t more horror movies set in secluded snowy villages?! I loved this so much. Takes its time unfolding, but it’s worth it. My new favorite holiday movie.
Absolute delight.
