  • Tuftland – a new Finnish nature horror movie in production

    Today I have something extremely fresh for you. A Finnish backwood horror mystery titled Kyrsyä – Tuftland. There’s actually not too much to tell yet, except for a few interesting details about the concept and the crew.

  • Night Visions brings in Norwegian thrillers

    This spring, Night Visions -festival hits back with a force. 32 movies from 16 different countries. The 20-year-old festival also expands to more theatres than ever. The new hosts for screenings will be Culture Factory Korjaamo and Culture Arena Gloria.

  • RENDEL releases first teaser trailer

    So here we are. With a new, dark superhero called Rendel, and its first teaser trailer. First of all, superheroes aren’t exactly my thing. But when a superhero film emerges from such an unlikely place as Finland, it’s bound to be interesting.

    Good start to this years festival. My next two movies were somewhat related, though not in the most obvious way. I’ll go into that later.
