- Out Now on Digital & DVD.
On Christmas eve in far north Lapland, an archaeological dig unearths a centuries old secret buried 500 metres underground - the real Santa Claus. When local children start mysteriously disappearing, the dark truth about the Santa Claus myth is revealed, unleashing a chain of events, after which, Christmas will never be the same again.
We watch every Xmas eve. Best holiday film ever!
@Icon Films Australia & New Zealand you might not know this but recently, Cate Blanchett named that as one of her favourite movies, Rare Exports.
Favorite Christmas movie
For a low budget flick, not to bad. Cute kid. Wish we got to see the troll sized Santa/Krampus Claws
A Hitchcock lesson: that which remains unseen remains terrifying.
I love the fact it's in Finalnd, where Santa is originally from and no Coca Cola BS
You realise you say that while seeing him in the red and white outfit Coke invented, right?
Saint Nicholas was from Turkey.
@@PlaceForFaith and fiction :p
@@GrogSothoth thats so the film sells also in cocacolified countries. The jule-buck / "joulu-pukki" has been very different in all of europe before coca cola educated us with diabetes and redclothings 🙂 and americans stopped seeings themselves as european expats
Fun fact. The Coca Cola Santa was made by Haddon Sundblom who has Finnish heritage.
It's my favourite chrimbo film of all time
better than us trailer...wondering where the theatrical difference is of promo?
Boss little film!
Films has once of the highest if not highest rotten tomatoe score for Christmas horror movies
Santa Claus in this movie = John Carpenter's The Thing.
The Thing was just an extraterrestrial Santa Clause looking for naughty children on Earth.
He's a shapeshifting alien parasite that mutates the bodies of those he inhabits? ...Have you even seen The Thing?
Love this movie,Love anything Finnish, I'm Finnish....Better be good boys n girls.... Santa Claus is different everywhere!
As a kid I lived next door to some Finns, the Huhtas. They had a sauna. In Australia, that's redundant in Summer. Sauna, then a quick plunge in the swimming pool.
When God made Finns he was Finnished. Hence the name. Can't get much better.
You dont wash in Australia? or why is that redudnant?
Finns use sauna for a cleaning ritual, thats its purpouse. Why would we not clean ourselves also outside of finland?
What do you mean you love the movie? It's a document.
85k for a santa is a very exact number lmaooo
Its that exact amount for a reason, not including 22% VAT.
cuz the dead reindeer's cost 85k
not to bad
Oh my God I was a little worried and then I just five stars that's all I can say five stars my niece would call it dark humor Maybe I still like it
Here after Violent Knight
Violent Night was surprisingly good (imo) but I will always love this movie over all christmas films.
@@916oh2panther2 glad to be noticed
that old man who plays Santa looks so badass... who is he?
? john cleese !:)
His name is Peeter Jokobi. John Cleese is no where in this.
According to imdb another person plays the Santa in the crate at the end of the trailer. Knut Osa Greger.
They should have cast Marko Hietala. He already has the awesome beard.
@@916oh2panther2 Peeter Jakobi* he was a famous veteran actor from Estonia, died in 2014
One of the few scary, original horror films from the 2000s, but why the Hell did they have to add any crappy CGI? Can't ANY filmmaker create real special effects anymore instead of this crap that looks like it was whipped up on my laptop...
they only had a budget of 2 million, do you think they could get a bunch of old naked men out in the cold or make a huge ice statue and paint a fak Santa or whatever.and frankly the CGI looks good. stop complaining
Ok boomer
@@lahtine7431 OK Karen.
Let's see you endanger a skilled helicopter pilot and multi-million dollar helicopter, plus surroundings, swinging a heavy load around like that. Or pull a Backrooms and produce photorealistic Blender renders of an army that isn't clearly copy-pasta'd. And I didn't see many complaining about the massive army scenes in LotR that occasionally clearly used duplicated brushes.
It's called suspension of disbelief. It helps filmmakers produce material that may be too fantastical, financially impossible, or dangerous to create in real life without holding up the story being told.
Has it ever occurred to any of you that there is not a single freaking female anywhere in this entire movie? Not even any of the children are girls! I just find it odd. There's not too many movies where the entire cast is all male. The only other one that I can think of is 1982's "The Thing" directed by John Carpenter, but that makes sense because that's at a private workstation in the Arctic. Where are all the females in this movie? Also, I find it odd that grown men take orders from a child as if somehow, this child went from 8 years old to 38 years old. It's hard to take this movie seriously when this child gets the authority that a grown adult would and he behaves as such. It's off-putting. No father in his right fucking mind would ever let their son risk their own life, for ANY reason. That's what I'm talking about. The boy behaves as if he is a military General. On a final note, it is hard to put this movie into a category. I don't look at it as a straightforward horror film, but it's not an action film either. I guess "Christmas Suspense" would be the best thing to call it.
ok to counter you, the female thing I don't have a counter but for his father taking orders, it makes sense. if you paid attention you will know that everything the kid has said about the situation has been proven right and he is shown to want to be a leader considering his father acts like one. he is in a somewhat strict household as shown in the film and he has been proven right about everything so why wouldn't his father listen and let him take charge. he has gotten himself in life-threatening situations and hasn't gotten one scratch. also, the film falls under a dark comedy/ mainly horror.
Your first premise is flawed. Chaton Anderson played Trina. It also was produced by Agnes B. and cast by Nina Erdahl and Laura Munsterhjelm. The primarily male cast is due to the setting and the traditional stories it is based on.
Actually thats incorrect. I just watched this movie, and there are scenes when the whole village is together near the start, and there are many families there, including women and children. Also on your other point, its still a xmas movie, so of course there will be a little bit of xmas spirit and magic thrown in.
Wow. I think your soy latte didn’t contain enough soy and you spewed your verbal diarrhoea over that comment
"It's hard to take this movie seriously[...]" Ok, perhaps dark comedies don't need to be taken that seriously. I don''t think any of your points detract from the film, what it is and what it tries to get across.
The first 45 minutes of that movie is some kid wandering around in his house. I lost interest and turned it off.
Go back to it. I didn't really get into it the first watch-through. NOW, I'm a fan.
Shame, you missed a good film.
Don't fucking lie to the man. This film was garbage.
Call me a horror movie snob, but I've watched and enjoyed films with a slow grind or subdued tones. Lake Mungo, Possum, even really shrill and generally unpleasant titles like The Babadook. You have movies like The Thing or It Follows. And then, if you actually want good Christmas themed horror films, Silent Night Deadly Night, Krampus, or Black Christmas.
The entire film is set up for the ending finale sequence where the kid wrangles all the elves and gets Santa blown up. Santa himself never actually appears and the villains you do see are his "helpers" which are just old naked dudes. There is set up and "mystery" but the plot is extremely easy to figure out. In fact, I cannot recall in recent memory a film that got so caught up in leading to the reveal that it FORGOT ENTIRELY to make the reveal worth the build up. Like... Really. A big ball of ice with horns? That was the payoff? So you're telling me half the film was spent building up to bad things potentially happening that don't actually happen and then the other half is just lukewarm interactions with old naked dudes who don't feel threatening at any point? Jesus fucking christ, pass.
This film advertised itself as a christmas horror with a layer of mystery and threat in regards to Santa.
Okay, actually DELIVER on that next time. As it stands, this film is just an incredibly diet, watered down, boring, low budget version of Krampus but without ANY of the payoffs.
The first 45 minutes he's talking about? Those are the MOST interesting parts because at least there's a little bit of mystery that get your hopes up. Everything after that just disappoints on a profound level. I have NEVER been this angry about a low budget film, and it's primarily because BEFORE WATCHING IT I actually went to these trailers and listened to people like you who overhyped it. It was garbage. Extremely garbage. People calling it the "best horror film" and likening it to films like "The Thing", are you fucking serious?
@@ImpalingthornWait. Hold on now.
I read every word of your review, your experience watching the movie, but I still have just one question:
_Did you enjoy watching it?_
@@Impalingthornffs get help! there are lots of treatments and medications for people like you babble and rant endlessly.😳
This film is bad. Don't listen to the people hyping it up.
This will wind up being a 90 minute waste of your time with zero payoffs or satisfying results, I fucking promise you.
If you want a film that actually delivers on everything this title claimed it would be, just go watch Krampus.
As it stands, the only reason I can put together as to why people even care about this film is because it is native to Finland and people from there are overstating its worth.
It's garbage, avoid it unless you are taking a constructive course on how NOT to deliver on a suspense thriller.
Okay boomer lol 😆😂
Krampus sucks compared to this
i saw it last night and really enjoyed it
@lmpalingthorn, based solely on the trailer, I am really tempted to give this movie a chance. But isn't that the sole reason trailers are created in the first place? Trailers exist to entice the general sheeple into believing a movie will be worth the time and money needed to watch it. Of course this is always done by cleverly editing the best scenes together to make the movie seem way more entertaining than they end up being. With all that said, I definitely fell for the trailer. It's just to bad I watched the trailer on CZcams and can read the comments made about the movie itself by others that have already watched it. That brings us to the entire reason for my unnecessarily long comment directed to you. I found that most of the comments recommend this movie despite having a Finnish bias. I was surprised to read that this was a favorite movie to more than 4 of these movie buffs that left a comment. I haven't even seen the movie, and I can guarantee without a shadow of a doubt that this movie stands zero chance of ever being considered one of my favorites movies. After reading your very descriptive and honest review, finding it to be the complete opposite to all the other comments and reviews. I decided to trust your opinion and not waste my time by watching it. Thanks to you, I will save myself from the disappointment and frustration that these type of movies give me.
I'll bet you're the guy in film history class who hated watching Hitchcock films because of the small SFX budget .
worse movie of all time
Have you even seen the movie PEEjay?
Nxumalo Pseudonymous ok lets say about ur movie from ur country m8
I saw a lot worse movie than this but its fine
Krampus will get you
I was going to recommend the Room (classic example), or Manos: The Hands of Fate. I'm a masochist, so I've watched the latter several times, both MST3K and original. You know it's terribly good (wonderfully terrible?) if the MST3K has the higher Rotten Tomatoes score, and the mad scientists interrupt twice to apologize.@@fecking_weirdo
They're actually trying to torture Joel… and they apologized.
