Rare Exports

I think the "Small Scandinavian Children Menaced By Monsters" subgenre's my new favorite. A while back we had Let the Right One In, and now there's Rare Exports, which I caught at the Nevermore Festival on Friday night. RE is a Finnish movie, developed out of a couple of shorts about feral Santa trappers bringing back their quarry for export to the lucrative American mall market (or something to that effect). The premise is goofy as hell. The infodump during the opening credits is as rushed as anything you get out of a season 6 Supernatural episode. The main character spends much of the movie with a slab of cardboard taped to his butt. In short, it sounds ludicrous. I mean, seriously. Santa?
Except I can't remember anything I've seen in a film that's more menacing than a naked old guy hanging from a butcher's hook and staring at the naughty little boy who is right...in...front of him.
Eating gingerbread, no less.
See it.
