And the twist of the year goes to ...



Rare Exports.

And, to make it even better, the twist in this Finnish christmas movie/monster movie (and there's a description that I thought I'd never see) is NOT EVEN AT THE END.

*spoiler alert*

The guy you think is Father Christmas - who starts the film being dug up from the inside of a giant, frozen mountain (as you do) - is actually just one of santa's little helpers (albeit an old, bearded and quite naked helper).

And, in a genius plot development, Santa Clause is something far more frightening - he's something more akin to a queeen bee who needs to be dethawed by a village's worth of radiators. Christmas films have never been so sizzling.

Runner up:

Tough call, but it's got to be Adrien Brody's six pack in Predators. I didn't see that one coming. However, a pleasant surprise I'm sure you will agree ...
