"Free entry! Grindhouse gifts us some wickedly entertaining anti-Christmas cult cinema in the shape of darkly comic Finnish action-horror Rare Exports: a smart and subversive twist on Nordic lore and Yuletide tradition gruesome enough to send Krampus scurrying behind the sofa."

Grindhouse Cinema Club Presents: Rare Exports A Christmas Tale FREE ENTRY!
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 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: A CHRISTMAS TALE is a re-imagining of the most classic of all childhood fantasies, and is a darkly comic gem soon to be required perennial holiday viewing.
Grindhouse Cinema Club every Monday at Sidney & Eden playing indie, exploitation & low-budget movies on our 10ft projector screen, always free entry and all welcome!
