Every year during 12 Slays of Christmas, I watch a lot of questionable holiday horror. Loud movies. Dumb movies. Movies that feel like they were written in the parking lot of a Spirit Halloween.
Rare Exports is not one of those movies.
This is a genuinely smart, creepy, atmospheric Christmas film that somehow manages to be unsettling, funny, thoughtful, and weirdly heartfelt — all while asking the important question: “What if Santa wasn’t jolly, but ancient and deeply terrifying?”
In this episode, I talk about why Rare Exports works so well:
• The folklore
• The slow-burn tension
• The confidence to not explain everything
• And the audacity to treat Christmas mythology like actual mythology
This is one of those rare moments where I get to be very positive, because this movie absolutely deserves it. If you like your holiday films cold, dark, and smart — this one belongs on your yearly watchlist.
