One of the stranger films we’ve seen all year, Jalmari Helander’s Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale, will both delight and confound you in the best of ways possible! A new trailer and teaser art made their way online today for the flick, which plays like a maniacal cross between The Thing and A Christmas Story, and we have them here for you.

Dig on the goods below and look for release news soon! Watch the below trailer in Hi-Def over at Apple.

Synopsis
“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 all the local children begin mysteriously disappearing, young Pietari and his father, Rauno, a reindeer hunter 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 fearless leader from captivity. What ensues is a wildly humorous nightmare – a fantastically bizarre polemic on modern-day morality. RARE EXPORTS: A CHRISTMAS TALE is a re-imagining of the most classic of all childhood fantasies and is a darkly comic gem soon to be required perennial holiday viewing.”
