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.

Pretty good. One of the two twists isn't really a shock, if you're paying attention.
I LIKED it... up until the last 20 to 30 minutes after you find out the first "big plot twist". There were a few more, but they were REALLY predictable in the bad way. I would have given it 5 stars if they just stuck with the first plot. the cinema photography is good, the acting is good, not great but not bad. There were a few parts where I rolled me eyes, but overall it was an enjoyable movie. A one and done type of thing
Cinematography is great in this and I had no idea about the real case of the Lake Bodom murders in 1960 so that was interesting to look up. Overall the movie itself was okay.
Very good movie. I sure didn't expect the ending.
Quite effective. Very scenic. I really like autumnal lakeside horror. It think this is my first Finnish horror.
