User Review:
Dark, But Highly Entertaining Christmas Film
, rated: 8/10
I just recently caught a screening of Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale
and I was definitely not disappointed. My expectations were relatively
high after having seen the two short films previously released in this
series, and while this version did stray somewhat from the concepts
shown in the short films, it did stay true to the overall feel of the
previous incarnations.
Although this film was not particularly deep or thought provoking it
was very fun to watch and highly enjoyable. Somewhat creepy in places,
this was mainly played up for humorous effect and overall the film
displayed a dark sense of humor quite different from any Christmas
movie that I have ever seen.
I would highly recommend this film to fans of the original short films
or anyone looking for something a little bit different around the
holiday season!
