Well, now that it's here (A&E), something should be explained. The picture is a poster of a movie coming out this christmas, and the two youtube videos posted earlier are short films that were made some years ago.

Here's a trailer for the movie:

Beastie Boy Adam Yauch’s Oscilloscope Laboratories Grabs Holiday Horror ‘Rare Exports’

Oscilloscope Laboratories, the film company started by Beastie Boys member Adam Yauch, has acquired the rights to Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale, a new horror-comedy from Finland that takes childhood fantasy to a whole new realm.

The movie comes from director Jalmari Helander, who based it on his own popular short films, and tells the story of an archeological excavation that turns up none other than Santa Claus himself. Unfortunately, he’s not quite the Santa we’ve all grown up knowing from stories and songs.

Of the acquisition, Yauch said “This is really a unique film, the filmmaking exceptional, Jalmari’s sense of timing, perfect. I’m tempted to say it’s like the Coen brothers meets The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, but RARE EXPORTS is so original in its feel and approach that I’ll refrain from such comparisons and simply say: gas up your snowmobiles, load your shotguns and smoke ‘em if you got ‘em — ’cause we intend to uncage this sucker in theaters for the holidays.”

Be sure to click on over to the other side to read a synopsis of the movie with links to the original short films, and also to check out the trailer for Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale!

This movie was a 10/10. Absolutely phenomenal. All should see.
