Directed by Jalmari Helander. Written by the Helander Brothers. Starring Onni Tommila, Jorma Tommila, Tommi Korpela, Rauno Juvonen, Per Christian Ellefsen and Peeter Jakobi.
Plot: the people living near the Korvatunturi mountain are about to find out the truth about Santa Claus.
This is not a Christmas horror movie for the young ones. Just so you know going in. It’s about some men that go digging near the Korvatunturi mountain and find what they believe is a burial site. A little boy overhears all this and is convinced that it is Santa’s burial site. So, he starts reading about the original Santa, Joulupukki, who was a mean Santa. Destroyed some naughty kids.
Anyway, they end up trapping a man they believe to be Santa and they decide to sell him. Which is when the story starts to really take off. Because honestly, the beginning is a little slow, but the end is smart and beautifully done.
The little boy is a straight up gangsta. It’s original, it followed rules, had a sensational script and a enjoyable story. Don’t go in looking for gore though. It isn’t like that. But be warned, there are a lot of dead reindeer which I didn’t need to see. And there’s a lot of elf penis swinging around, too, which neither of us really needed to see. And there’s no women in the movie, so there’s no boobs.
All in all, I recommend. We both do. We really enjoyed this movie.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
