I love this movie so much

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

An elite trio of expert hunters venture into the woods to track and capture an especially rare and dangerous prey for the Christmas season.Having seen the full-length "Rare Exports" first, the twist is not quite as much of a surprise as it could be for those completely unfamiliar with the brand. Maybe this took something away from it, maybe not... it was still very enjoyable.The way the subject matter is approached differently, more like a nature program than a horror film, is just brilliant and gives a completely different (but not any better or worse) feel to the subject matter. Standing on its own, it certainly answers some perennial questions about Christmas!

There's probably a hundred (short) films out there that get you in the spirit for the holidays, but really funny ones are a rarity. This one is definitely a decent Christmas comedy. It runs for slightly over 7 minutes, which is fine, but also pretty much the limit as the hunting scenes, which went on for a large part of the film really shouldn't have been longer, although the tension and curiosity about what they were hunting for was rising more and more. The over-the-top serious narrator did a pretty good job though and you could feel the funny tone from the way he spoke highly of the prey and praised it as "king of the forest" on one occasion for example.From the moment on where the bearded hunters caught it, it's absolutely hilarious. Interesting idea, convincing execution and definitely worth a watch during the holidays for being a somewhat different Christmas movie. Also there's a follow-up short film and even a feature film about the issue, which may very well be worth watching, but I haven't seen these, so can't say for sure. In any case it's good to see Jalmari Helander, the director gets the chance and will work with Samuel L. Jackson, Jim Broadbent and others on a project of international prestige.

This, I Only Watched Recently, Its About A Company That Hunts Down Father Christmases(Explained In The Full Length Film). This Film Has Descent Acting But The Narrator Makes The Movie(He Is The Main Part Of The Film, Its Amazing That He Didn't Laugh, I Know That If He Did They Could Just Go To Take Two But He Sounded Like He Was Announcing The Latest Blockbuster From Michael Bay). The Sequels Actually Suppress This One, Although This Film Has A Free Feeling Of Stupidity That Is Only Measured Up In The Second One But This One Is A Good Film As A Stand Alone Film. Overall I Do Recommend This Film To Any Fan Of Anti-Holiday Movies."Its Beginning To Look A lot Like Christmas, Everywhere You Go."

While this is a very entertaining and humorous short film, it is also worth mentioning that it is a ad for Woodpecker Film showing their flair, know-how and expertise. This company has produced a lot of advertisements, some music videos and a like. Some of the ads are for Finnish military, drinks and food stuffs.Watch some of them at Woodpeckerfilm.fiThe movie it self is a work of genius, using Finnish landscape and popular beliefs, so to speak, as the source for the mid-movie surprise. The narrator is very convincing with the low movie trailer type voice and makes for a funny emphasis.
