For horror fans who enjoy some yuletide trimmings on their tales of gore, here comes a twisted take on Santa Claus — Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale.
Something strange is stalking the wildlife of the mountains of northern Finland, and when children start to go missing, a father-son team goes in search of…Santa. Check out the red band trailer courtesy of G4.
Synopsis courtesy of Bloody Disgusting: “It’s the eve of Christmas in northern Finland and an “archeological” dig has just unearthed the real Santa Claus. But this particular Santa isn’t the one you want coming to town. When all the local children begin mysteriously disappearing, young Pietari and his father Rauno, a reindeer hunter by trade, capture the mythological being and attempt to sell Santa to the misguided leader of the multinational corporation sponsoring the dig. Santa’s elves, however, will stop at nothing to free their fearless leader from captivity. What ensues is a wildly humorous nightmare – a fantastically bizarre polemic on modern day morality. RARE EXPORTS: A CHRISTMAS TALE is a re-imagining of the most classic of all childhood fantasies, and is a darkly comic gem soon to be required perennial holiday viewing.”
Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale hits theaters December 3, 2010.
