The Finnish "Rare Exports" has been building up some great word of mouth on the festival circuit as a sure fire cult hit, thanks in no small part to an outlandish plot based around the always fun theme of an evil Santa Claus. Directed by Jalmari Helander and drawn from his popular shorts "Rare Exports, Inc." and "Rare Exports, Inc. Safety Instructions", the film marks his feature length debut, quite surprisingly, given the assurance and playfulness with which he handles a wacked out premise which in other hands could easily have slipped into mere spoofery or cold hearted weirdness. Instead, the film is a modern kid's adventure classic, very much in the mid 1980s style, offering full blooded thrills, fun and danger in a wonderfully imaginative manner which harks back to classic Spielberg and the likes of "The Goonies".

Set just before Christmas, way up North in the Finnish Arctic, the film opens with a mysterious expedition from the US beginning an excavation on a mountain in the hopes of finding the original Santa Claus, who needless to say was far from being the rosy cheeked lovable old man that the world has come to know him as. Troubled by the thought of his impending release is a young lad called Pietari (Onni Tommila), who lives with his father, Rauno (Jorma Tommila) at their reindeer slaughterhouse home. Although no one heeds Pietari's warnings, soon enough strange things are happening to the nearby small community, with a herd of reindeer being found torn to pieces in the snow. After a weird old man (Peeter Jakobi) is caught in one of his father's wolf traps and the local children all go missing, he rallies his father and his friends to take up arms against their impending yuletide doom.

Since most films these days even partly aimed at a younger audience either tend to be stupefyingly patronising affairs or filled with tiresome, supposedly humorous winks to adult viewers, "Rare Exports" really comes as a delightful breath of fresh air. Jalmari Helander manages to get pretty much everything right, making the film equally suitable for children or adults by serving up borderline lunatic escapades with a commendably straight face. As a result, the film at times benefits hugely from a real sense of danger, thanks also to a handful of reasonably gory and visceral scenes early on.
