Yes, Rare Exports is a killer Santa Claus movie. Sadly, that's going to be the albatross around its neck as it fights to find an audience outside of its native Finland. I say "Killer Santa Claus" and you automatically reply "Silent Night Deadly Night" and then we both get sad because Silent Night Deadly Night tends to do that to people.
Rare Exports is not Silent Night Deadly Night. The killer Santa Claus at the center of the film is not some psychopath in a Santa Claus costume but Santa Claus himself. Or at least the Santa Claus of the old, Finnish myths, where he wasn't a jolly fat man who brings toys to good children, but a monstrous demon who abducts and tortures bad children.
This is the Santa an excavation team accidentally digs up from a tomb in the remote countryside. This is the Santa that kills the entire team and makes his way to a nearby town, where only a young boy named Pietari (Onni Tommila) realizes what terrible danger the entire child populace is in. With Christmas just around the corner, Pietari must convince his father and friends that Santa is not only real, but a vicious fairy tale monster who has every intention of teaching the local youth that Christmas is not about love and caring but about being whipped to death for not behaving.
