5,1 out of 10 is a disgrace to this film. Well-paced, well-acted, suspenseful and a somewhat original plot (see for yourself) with a few good twists and turns. The very most parts of the film take place in the woods, and the solid nature definitely builds up a true horror atmosphere to the film.

"Lake Bodom" also has this great unsettling "nerve" to it, which reminds me of some of the best classic 80s horror flicks like "Just Before Dawn" and "The Burning".

In my opinion "Lake Bodom" is the best Finnish horror flick out there. Well worth a watch for horror hounds and/or people who appreciate an entertaining, thrilling 85 minute ride!

I can understand why some people appreciate this movie but I'm not one of them. I love independent cinema and I barely watch anything else than that but this movie is beyond my comprehension. OK, it had good cinematography, but good or great cinematography does not equal a good movie.

It's very slow-paced, well, not even slow-paced, rather none-paced. It's boring, dull and nothing happens for the total runtime of 81 minutes.

If you watch a movie, solely for its cinematography, then you may appreciate this one, but if you're hoping for another masterpiece in French cinema, i.e. Martyrs or Inside, then look somewhere else.
