The script for Bodom, written by Mustonen and Aleksi Hyvärinen, was inspired by a real murder spree that took place at Lake Bodom in the 1960’s in Finland. The murders have still not been solved and a group of teenagers decides to investigate. As it turns out, none of them is there to play.
The cast includes Nelly Hirst-Gee, Mimosa Willamo, Mikael Gabriel and Santeri Mäntylä. Aleksi Hyvärinen is also the producer of the film.
The film is a coproduction between Don Films of Finland and Münchhausen of Estonia. The film was shot between June and November 2015 with a budget pf 1.1 m EUR with support from the Finish Film Foundation and Nordic Boost initiative.
"We have 95% of the financing in place and currently we are looking for a sales agent. We are set to complete the film by the end of 2016," director Taneli Mustonen told FNE.
