If it has anything to do with me, we’ll watch Christmas horror that’s done right.

Finally arriving on DVD and Blu-ray October 25 is Jalmari Helander’s awesome Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale, a re-imagining of the most classic of all childhood fantasies.
“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 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.”

Bloody Disgusting’s David Harley took a horrific holiday trip to see Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale, Oscilloscope Laboratories’ season-themed children’s horror film that’s now in limited theaters everywhere. “Featuring characters that can sell bewilderment for comedic and horrific moments, and a script filled with childhood whimsy set in a realistic world, Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale is the sort of horror film I wish would come along more often.” You can read his full review by clicking the title above. Watch for VOD, DVD and Blu-ray dates soon.

This week B-D got on the phone with Finnish director Jalmari Helander, whose Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale won raves on the festival circuit before being picked up for U.S. distribution by Oscilloscope Pictures. The film is about a young boy and his father who capture an “evil” Santa Claus wreaking havoc in their small town in Finland after he is unearthed in an archeological dig. When they attempt to sell him back to the multinational corporation which sponsored it, Santa’s elves come to free their leader from captivity. B-D’s Chris Eggertsen spoke to Helander (who is planning on shooting an English-language feature next) about the film, adapted from his 2003 short entitled Rare Exports, Inc., and he opened up about the long process of writing the script, how he feels about those Spielberg comparisons, and whether he is a film of more traditional horror movies (a category which Rare Exports most definitely does not fit into). See inside for the full interview!
