MACABRECast No.7: Christmas horror! with Rare Exports (2010) review and beer pairing

For this episode, we get in the Christmas spirit with Rare Exports (2010): a modern fable of Santa Claus, evil Americans and kids who believe in fairy tales, with more old-man nudity than anything this side of fetish porn. It’s one of the weirder films we’ve reviewed and by far the weirdest Christmas film you’ve ever seen (yes, even stranger than The Gingerdead Man... and way better). It’s got Dracula, Godzilla, Shaun of the Dead and Die Hard in its DNA, plus subtitles for those of you who don’t speak the tongue of Lapland’s native people, the Saami.

Let’s give this wild, strange and inventive Christmas fable the Macabre Bros treatment!

Spoiler alert: there’s lots of em in this review.
