'Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale' (2010)

The shocking secret behind Santa Claus is exposed at last in this jaw-dropping fantasy from Finland, one of the most unusual and imaginative Christmas movies ever. Preceded by two prior internet shorts, it's one of the darkest Santa movies ever, plunging almost into 'Night of the Hunter' territory as the child hero desperately tries to get the adults to believe him: Santa is not what you think he is! Magnificent scenery and a welcome undercurrent of black humor give this one a shot at becoming a new Christmas classic.
