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.
Cast: Onni Tommila, Jorma Tommila, Tommi Korpela

ElectricH20 (whose name implies they like one of the worst films in the last 50 years) has some of the worst takes on Shudder.
My favorite Christmas movie aside from Die Hard and It's a Wonderful Life. This film is awesome.
I don't get the hype. . . . . it is plain bad.
really good.
I wonder what I missed. I really found this one unwatchably bad last time it was on shutter. May have to get high and try again…
