Writer/Director Jalmari Helander delivered a delightfully wicked twist to Santa Claus in 2010’s genre-bender Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale. Helander’s latest, Sisu, sees the filmmaker reteaming with some familiar Rare Exports faces for another crowd-pleasing genre-bender, this time an R-rated journey through Lapland near the end of World War II.

I grew up in a predominantly Christian community in rural West Virginia. Not a day went by that I wasn’t told I was going to burn in hell for all of eternity.

While I am a huge fan of local haunts, Halloween Horror Nights is

The end of the Laurie Strode saga, Halloween Ends is coming to theaters AND Peacock on October 14, and USA Today has shared a new action shot from the movie this morning.
