This film is a total GAS, first rate Banger. It focuses on a group of local reindeer herders whose Christmas is disturbed by excavations on the Korvatunturi mountain in Lapland A scientist has ordered a team of workers to dig open what he calls "the largest burial mound in the world". An explosive used by the team uncovers what is referred to as a "sacred grave". However, the occupant of the grave is the source of the original Santa Claus myth (which actually began in this Region); a supernatural being who, rather than rewarding good children, punishes the naughty. One family, however, manages to catch the culprit in a trap, and plans to sell it to the scientist to cover the losses caused by his excavation.

| The story is wacky but is so well acted, well-written, and original it's hard not to like it. Very little violence but scary nonetheless. Both adults and kids (older than 7) can enjoy it. The kid pictured above is the hero but not in a kid-like way. |
