The rain returned last night but, thankfully, it wasn’t a torrential downpour … and it didn’t last very long. After a nice quiet day together, David and I decided to take in a movie to end our lovely Xmas Day. A couple of months ago we saw a trailer for a Finnish film called Rare Exports that looked interesting. It tells the tale of the discovery of an evil, child-killing Santa Claus … which seemed like the perfect Xmas Day film.
The thing I loved most about the film was the inventiveness of the story. While there were a few things about the plot that I would’ve liked fleshed out a bit more, the overall film was really entertaining. Did you know that Santa Claus is not actually a jolly ol’ elf who likes to deliver toys to all the good little boys and girls around the world? Well, according to Rare Exports … it’s true … he’s actually a hulking creature that has been buried for centuries and threatens to take his wrath on the children of the world should he ever be freed. I wouldn’t call the film a horror movie … but I wouldn’t call it a comedy either. It’s … an interesting film, that’s for sure. It is deffo worth checking out if you’re interested in seeing Santa painted in a different light. We quite enjoyed the film.
No big plans for today … it looks like it’s gonna be a very quite Boxing Day here at the homestead.
