I know many of you out there are eager to see Rare Exports, the much buzzed about evil Santa movie from Finland. CHUD has certainly been part of this buzz, first with Jacob Hall’s practically incandescent Fantastic Fest review, followed by my Movie of the Day selection. Jacob called the film the “best Joe Dante movie that Joe Dante never made.” While trying to go less hyperbolic, I nonetheless likened the film to the classic age of Spielberg and Amblin. The film is now precariously poised to be over-hyped! Our job is done. Now it’s your turn, Chewers. And I have good news for those living in Los Angeles…

What if I told you that you could see the film earlier than its scheduled December release? Wait, it gets better. What if I told you that you could see it for free? But wait again. What if I told you I have reserved two comfortable couches at the front of the theater just for CHUD readers?

Here is the skinny…

Next Friday (26th), I will be co-hosting, along with longtime friend of CHUD, Sebastian O’Brien, a free screening of Rare Exports at LA’s rapidly rising star in the theatrical experience night sky, Cinefamily. What better way to shake off your turkey hangover than by kicking back and watching a creepy Santa Claus movie amongst like minded peeps at one of LA’s coolest cultural hubs?

Wanna see the show? All you need to do is RSVP here. An RSVP does not guarantee you a seat, so getting in line early in highly recommended…

…but you read CHUD, which means you have a friend on the inside. Me. For those who have never been to Cinefamily before, the front two rows of the theater are made up entirely with comfy couches. Normally you need to get your ass to the theater very early to nab one of those bad boys. But I am going to save two couches for you handsome people (two couches for two different winners). Which means that not only will you and a guest get to watch evil Finnish Santa in style, but unlike the rest of those suckers in line, you’ll have guaranteed seats! High five.

Some come listen to Sebastian and I blather for a few moments, and then watch a weird and fun little movie. All you need to do is send me an email at wormmiller@gmail.com with RARE EXPORTS SCREENING in the subject line, and tell me what present you really want for Xmas. Simple as that.

As they would say in Finland – onnea! (good luck)
