The Body of Water

When it comes to Finland's small film industry, people only think of the Kaurismäki brothers, and horror films are really rare. "On the Lake", which topped the Finnish box office list last weekend, is such a film. The film was originally titled "Body of Water". Director Jonah Turner said that the film focuses on city people's fear of huge bodies of water and silent country life. The heroine of the film is a lawyer who returned to her childhood home in order to save the lake area that was plundered by developers. However, a series of supernatural events happened one after another. Needless to say, it will quickly remind you of Jennifer Connelly's "The Ghost Story". Comments after its release also said that the plot is too old-fashioned, but the technical aspects such as visual effects and editing are still worthy of recognition. Through the trailer below, it is not difficult to understand why the audience is attracted to it.
