Rare Exports’ reveals the truth about Christmas evil

This oddball horror film discovers that the real being known as Santa Claus isn’t remotely jolly.

O.K., now I really, really want to see Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale, a movie I’d never heard of before five minutes ago. Through Dec. 4, GSU’s Cinefest is screening this Finnish film that involves the mythos of Santa Claus, but looks a heckuva lot more like The Thing than Arthur Christmas. What is the identity of the supernatural being found interred in “the world’s largest burial mound” in the frozen North? And what if it’s still alive? I imagine the tag-line: “You’d Better Be Good For Goodness Sake.”
