The Witch Part 1: The Subversion is a 2018 South Korean mystery action film directed by Park Hoon-Jung and stars Kim Da Mi, Jo Min Soo, and Choi Woo Shik❤.
A young girl is found by an old couple and raised in a small farming town. Their simple life is turned upside down when a group of dangerous and mysterious people come to find her and take her back to a government facility where she escaped from ten years ago.
This is one of those movies where you're sitting there biting your nails and wondering what's going to happen next. There is a big secret surrounding the main character Koo Ja-Yoon. Who is she and why does she have powers that her adoptive parents are apprehensive about her showing? I'm usually good at figuring out what is going to happen next in a movie since I've seen so many and they usually fit certain patterns, but this one has a good twist!

Rare Exports (2010)
Description:
Rare Exports is a 2010 dark fantasy Finnish horror movie directed by Jalmari Helander.
Two boys in Finland find out that men from America have come to dig up something in the mountains. One of the boys, Pietari (played by Onni Tommila) has been researching about Joulupukki (a Christmas figure that became our modern day Santa Clause). He has read that Santa is actually very dangerous and believes that is what the men are foolishly digging up.
Review:
The cinematography, scenery, and music were astounding but the story fell short.
The tone of the movie was mainly dramatic and tense but there were some funny scenes. One was of the Scrooge-like American character stands up and suddenly has a climactic backdrop of the mountains. It seemed extremely unnecessary and over the top (on purpose which made it even more hilarious).
In the beginning, the story kept me involved, but after the 30-minute mark, I felt like they could have made things more interesting by having the children team up instead of Pietari teaming up with the adults.
The most terrifying part of this film was watching the kids run around with guns. In the area they live, they have to worry about wolves (and an evil Santa Clause), but it was still nerve wreaking to watch.
The best part was the lighting and the gorgeous mountains. There was a good amount of suspense but nothing was scary to me. The Santa they talked about was barely shown and the pace could have been quicker. The special effects near the end were very bad and made everything even less scary.
I don't know much about Finland, but I definitely want to learn Finnish someday because of this film and I want to delve into some more Finnish movies soon.
In the end, this didn't scare me. I would not recommend this film but I would recommend Black Christmas (1974) if you're looking for a Christmas horror mixture.
I would also suggest Let The Right One In (2008) which is a Swedish vampire movie. It has some breathtaking snowy scenes like Rare Exports, but I liked the story way better than this one.
