Review of Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (2010) by Thequietgamer — 19 Dec 2015
It's certainly a unique Christmas film. We get a very different take on Santa here. It's a Christmas adventure-horror flick with light doses of humor and a fantasy vibe. The results are quite entertaining.
The movie's biggest strength is in it's young lead Onni Tommila. He maybe young, but he proves to be just as talented as the rest of the adult cast. He fits the hero role well despite his young age.
The only thing the movie is missing to fully bring it's concept to life is a bit more in the excitement department. It's lacking in action or real tense moments. A final showdown of some sort would have been appreciated. Yet, it's hard to complain when this fantasy-horror is so teeming with imagination. The knowing winks with some well included humor are also appreciated. All in all it's just an entertaining watch that does something out of the ordinary for Christmas films.
