You know dear...with your love for wacky scandinavians who are really good at heart but just accidently end up doing horrible things (or horrible things beign done in their general surroundings) have you ever seen the Finish movie Rare Exports? It seems like the kind of thing Deathklock would accidently start ;)

 

This is the trailer:www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pH9Iy…  The perfect Christmas movie ;) Ho. Ho. Ho.

OH MY GAWDS I MUST SEE THIS! I am so learning to love Scandinavian films - they are just SO much fun and completely off the wall. Ever see Dead Snow? One of my all time faves.

Yes, you must! It is hillarious and awesome and sick! What else can it be with Santa Claus as the antagonist? :XD: 

 

Dead Snow - yep, I've seen it. Because everything gets worse if you put 'nazi' in front of it, even zombies :XD:. Take my word for it, Norway will find a way to make a 'nazi' troll movie one day.

 

I really, really dislike Swedish movies myself and never see them, with one exception. The vampire movie 'Let the Righ One In' is so dark and heartbreaking and should be shown as an antidote to Twillight fans everywhere! I think they even made a Hollywood movie out of it wich seemed rather redundant.

Yeah here it's called "Let Me In", and I wanted to see it but being a Hollywood movie they of course found a way to work in sexuality which is a MAJOR turn off for me, since the main characters are CHILDREN. Vomit.

I really liked the movie The Phantom Carriage, that was really good, and I saw another Swedish movie whose title I cannot remember.

Yep, the vampire girl/boy is living with a paedophile, using him to get the vampire food....so not a shiny, glittery twillight tale here.

 

Phantom Carriage? Never heard of it. Must look for it!

It's a very atmospheric silent film by Ingmar Bergman, about a carriage driven by the servant of Death. At the stroke of 12 on New Year's eve, Death chooses the most despicable man he can find and claims his soul to drive the carriage for a year. The 12 months seem like centuries for the driver, and is one of the greatest punishments of the afterlife. The story is about the man who will be chosen for the new driver.

It is REALLY good! And they made the horse look totally undead by just painting his skeleton on his hide!
