Plot

A group of Finnish friends decide to go camping by Lake Bodom to do a reconstruction of the 1960 murders.

Reception

In his review for Ilta-Sanomat, Tarmo Poussu called Bodom "the first Finnish horror film that meets the international standards".[2] Jutta Sarhimaa from Helsingin Sanomat gave the film four out of five stars, complimenting the young actors, visual production and dialogue.[3]

Mimosa Willamo won the best actress award at Screamfest in 2016.[4]
