I don't know exactly how
Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale gets away with a plot concerning long-forgotten demonic Santa Clause and his army of naked, withered elves (in terms of straight-faced absurdity, it's a master class balancing act of genre know-how), but it does, and the results are frequently awesome. It's as chilly as
Let the Right One In or the 1982 remake of
The Thing, and it's as much fun as anything this side of
Tremors. Do you really need to know anything else? If there's any justice in the world, this will be playing on loop future Christmases alongside
A Christmas Story (and
Die Hard, and
Bad Santa, and
It's a Wonderful Life...).
