Lake Bodom
Directed by Taneli Mustonen
Four teens get some scary surprises when they camp out at Finland’s Lake Bodom, the site of a grisly massacre back in 1960. With the killer still at large, the teens have plenty of time to theorize about who might really be responsible and if he’s still out there. Right on cue, when the kids tuck in, footsteps start approaching and a killer emerges. But though director Taneli Mustonen wants you to think you know where the story’s going, he’s got some very clever twists on deck that take the story in an even more shocking direction. A SHUDDER EXCLUSIVE.

This was a good watch! Thoroughly entertaining.
Well thought out and somewhat original. Really enjoyed this one!
Decent Finnish horror film with a clever twist. I like the end you don’t see the horror but rather you hear the horrors of what they could be enduring and to me that’s real horror. Great acting by the way, and this cinematography, is just splendid! Beautifully shot film, the underwater lake scenes and sky shots, love films like this. More Finnish horror please!
SPOILERS: WHAT DID THE END MEAN? Good twists, improbable characters, BUT WHERE DID THEY GO? WHERE WERE THEY AT THE END? An urban legend, okay, but did one go nuts and return HOME? Did the other one end up with ??? As his SLAVE? WHO KNOWS? Movie makers like this want it ALL WAYS!
Tries to be too clever for its own good, and ends up being just a ridiculously implausible plot stretched to breaking point solely to pile on twists. Sometimes, less is more.
