Santa’s coming to town, so get your shotgun.

When a research team excavating an ancient structure in Finland comes across something buried underneath the ice, they have no idea of what they’re about to unleashed. Before you can say Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, they awaken a centuries old evil that isn’t what you’d expect. Ultimately, it’s up to a local boy and his hunter father to put a stop to what’s about to be let loose upon the world by giving St. Nick what’s been coming to him for a long, long time…

Tired of the usual sentimental holiday cheer? Rare Exports won’t only give that to you in spades, but manages to subvert it into a twisted version as well. Happy Holidays and sleep with one eye open on Christmas Eve.
