A few years ago the internet became a buzz with the trailer for a film called Rare Exports, based on a short film that featured a group of men catching a training wild santa's to be, well the Santa that we all know and love today. There was sequel short made, but Jalmari Helander adapted the original short for their venture into a feature length story. A group of reindeer herders are plagued by something killing their herd, things get worse when Children begin to disappear from the town. That is until they catch the culprit, only to discover that they have infact catered a real life Snata Claus, A supernatural being that punishes the naughty.
Finnish in origin this has to be one of the strangest and most interesting Christmas films out there. It is considered by many to be a masterpiece and I was asked by a lot of people to cover it in the list, truthfully though, I don't think that you can list christmas horror films in this modern age without including this. Its great fun and a welcome addition to the Christmas Horror family.
See You Tomorrow.
