Bodom plot

"No happy campers here..."

In 1960, around Lake Bodom in Finland, several mysterious murders took place of teenagers camping there, near Helsinki. Since then, these murders have still not been solved. They are now considered by some to be a little monkey story, an eerie tale shared over a campfire. A new group of teenagers arrive at the same campground, hoping to solve the murders by recreating the crime scene. As night falls, some of them realize that not everyone has come with the same, innocent purpose.

Excellent thriller with a strong main theme indeed. The story seems to be nothing new and mainly predictable, but nothing could be further from the truth. Halfway through, your moderate interest changes to an attentive viewer who enjoys an original, exciting story with a number of surprises and atmospheric moments. 7/10

Finnish slasher that is quite strong and atmospherically directed, and has a few twists in store, but also fails with some impressive silliness. I really didn't think those nude pics that didn't actually exist worked. Then further into the film... if we are meant to find it exciting because the girls are in mortal danger, then they miss the point, because what those girls did before no one sympathizes with them . The ending was also quick.
It's okay to have a slightly different slasher in mind, but it still has to make some sense. And as a slasher itself, it could have been a bit naughtier.

Director Taneli Mustonen uses the real event of the Lake Bodom massacres as inspiration to write this film and it ultimately comes together in a special way. The slick visual interpretation is particularly striking, with cinematographer Daniel Lindholm making an excellent contribution to creating a surreal and grim atmosphere. The work of the Finnish composer Panu Aaltio can certainly be mentioned as an effective pawn for the positive end result. The work of these three gentlemen easily raises Lake Bodom above the average horror limit, because Mustonen cannot expect to contribute to some substantive elements. The acting is not particularly strong and the slasher scenes look a bit too tame to be worth mentioning. Fortunately, the film is regularly taken in a new direction, making the final event pleasant and, above all, surprising. It is a pity that Mustonen's journey to America did not turn out as strongly as his Finnish predecessor.
