Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale is a 2010 Finnish horror film directed by Jalmari Helander. It is based on a series of short films by Jalmari and his brother Juuso.It's the eve of Christmas in northern Finland, and an 'archeological' dig has just unearthed the real Santa Claus. But this particular Santa isn't the one you want coming to town. When the local children begin mysteriously disappearing, young Pietari and his father Rauno, a reindeer herder and butcher by trade, capture the mythological being and attempt to sell Santa to the misguided leader of the multinational corporation sponsoring the dig. Santa's elves, however, will stop at nothing to free their master from captivity. |

Alternative Character Interpretation: Invoked as the premise: what if Santa Claus isn't a jolly man who rewards the good, but a nightmarish monster who kidnaps and mutilates the naughty? |

Badass Native: The Sami people no doubt. Though no Sami is seen onscreen, there doesn't really have to be for the viewer to understand they're hardcore, since they managed to outsmart and bury Santa Claus. If that sounds minimal, imagine this instead; they managed to defeat a gigantic horned beast the size of a building carrying an equally large whiping twig for weapon. |

Berserk Button: The elves really don't like it when you curse, killing the supervisor and all of his employees when he drops the F-bomb. |
