It’s the holiday season and Santa Claus is coming to town.

Now streaming on SCREAMBOX from Oscilloscope Laboratories is the classic Amblin-esque holiday horror Rare Exports, which hails from Finnish filmmaker Jalmari Helander (Sisu).

The film is for those who think they don’t believe in Santa Claus anymore and heads into the depths of the Korvatunturi mountains where 486 meters deep lies the closest ever guarded secret of Christmas. The time has come to dig it up!

This Christmas everyone will believe in Santa Claus.

In Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale

“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 all 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.

Rare Exports joins SCREAMBOX’s Yuletide Fear collection alongside exclusives like Secret Santa and Night of the Missing and such classics as Black Christmas and Silent Night, Deadly Night 2.

“Old-school American horror is back as Adam Green’s iconic Hatchet series returns in a blood-soaked, fully Unrated collection, uniting all four films for the first time.

“Unleashed at a time when the fun of 80s slashers had all but disappeared from the cinematic landscape, Hatchet ushered in a new era of terror with its unapologetic brutality and introduction of Victor Crowley, the modern bogeyman, who ruthlessly hunts those who dare tread into his swamp. With each installment, the stakes escalate, delivering bigger, bloodier scares and a relentless barrage of inventive kills. So gather all your pieces, because it’s time to return to his swamp and learn once and for all that some legends truly never die.”

Other films coming soon from Dark Sky Selects include The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), The House of the Devil, The Innkeepers, and Faces of Death. Stay tuned for updates.
