Rare Exports
Right now, any of you with kids, I dare you to show them this movie at Christmas. I dare you. Not only will it forever shift the way you look at Christmas, but it will teach them to fear sitting on a stranger’s lap or the idea of an old man breaking into your home one night a year is just not okay. You lie about Santa as it is, right? Why not take that one step further? Rare Exports will help you do that.
Rare Exports takes the idea of Santa Claus and dares to ask: what if he were not actually the jovial, sweet man that pop culture has presented him as, but rather, an age old demon whose intentions are far more nefarious than what people first thought? And what if some people caught this man, only to realize he was just a very small part in a much bigger (and much darker) scheme?
From its expert direction to its (frankly, stunning) cinematography, to the fucking AMAZING ending, Rare Exports sees and paints a much darker picture than most holiday movies dare to. It is also a fuck load better than most of them as well.
Santa is super creepy in concept, and though some slasher films have made his “visage” into the bad guy, Rare Exports goes miles deeper.
