This, I Only Watched Recently, Its About A Company That Hunts Down Father Christmases(Explained In The Full Length Film). This Film Has Descent Acting But The Narrator Makes The Movie(He Is The Main Part Of The Film, Its Amazing That He Didn't Laugh, I Know That If He Did They Could Just Go To Take Two But He Sounded Like He Was Announcing The Latest Blockbuster From Michael Bay). The Sequels Actually Suppress This One, Although This Film Has A Free Feeling Of Stupidity That Is Only Measured Up In The Second One But This One Is A Good Film As A Stand Alone Film. Overall I Do Recommend This Film To Any Fan Of Anti-Holiday Movies."Its Beginning To Look A lot Like Christmas, Everywhere You Go."

Meet a set of hunters. The best in their trade. As they learned from their fathers and their fathers before them, they track down and domesticate a very special prey.This is a film with a nice twist. The story is good, but at times it is a bit slow. Well written with good narration, but not 100%. The build up is a bit too long I think, but then again the pay-off is good.As for acting it's good. The narrator does a great job and the three leads and Father Christmas fits their roles perfectly and deliver a good performance.The cinematography struck me as really nice. Very nice composed and well chosen shots. It's all very delicious to look at. Hat's off to Jean Noel Mustonen. Also I might mention the sets and costumes witch are really nice. They look good and create a really nice setting.All in all a funny and well made short. I'd not give it a full 10, but it's a good 7, no doubt.

While this is a very entertaining and humorous short film, it is also worth mentioning that it is a ad for Woodpecker Film showing their flair, know-how and expertise. This company has produced a lot of advertisements, some music videos and a like. Some of the ads are for Finnish military, drinks and food stuffs.Watch some of them at Woodpeckerfilm.fiThe movie it self is a work of genius, using Finnish landscape and popular beliefs, so to speak, as the source for the mid-movie surprise. The narrator is very convincing with the low movie trailer type voice and makes for a funny emphasis.

This movie has been doing the rounds on the internet for the last couple of years in quicktime format, many people not realising that it is a serious (or otherwise) short movie. With around a minute and a half of credits, the length proper of this is only 6 minutes.This movie is about hunting, so keep the little ones out of view and earshot while watching it. It is an absolute masterpiece, so if you have broadband, do a search now and have a watch of it. If you decide to, then read no further, because:SPOILER -- SPOILER -- SPOILER -- SPOILER -- SPOILER -- SPOILERThere is a lead-up and reveal about halfway through. The start shows preparations for a hunt, but the prey is unknown until the first shot is fired, and we see a sedative dart in... A FATHER Christmas! They are the most precious free-roaming beast in the whole of the Northern wilderness we are told, but they are very dangerous.Get a copy now and see how a wild Father Christmas is tamed and prepared for export.
