[This one posted over the weekend and it's far too good to let it slip through the cracks because of when it came in so I'm bumping it back to the top of the page for now.]

We have been big supporters of Finnish director AJ Annila in these pages, from his debut film - the wuxia oriented fantasy Jade Warrior - through to covering the development process of this, his sophomore effort. A hard-edged horror film following brothers fleeing their part in a horrific crime, everything that has been seen from the picture so far promises something special: beautiful, atmospheric and loaded with some truly disturbing imagery. And today we've got something special from the film: the world premiere of the full theatrical trailer. This will be appearing on the official website sometime in the next day or two but Twitch readers are being given a special advance look and it looks simply stunning.

A cruel horror film bathing in the Finnish sauna culture, in the no-zone between Christianity and paganism. A story of two brothers, who leave a young girl to die and become haunted by her, as she follows them in supernatural form, her face pouring with endless filth. The brothers escape with a commission marking the border between Russia and Finland to a Russian-Orthodox village. In there they find a sauna - The sauna where all sins are washed away. Seeking for forgiveness, the brothers step into the sauna…

Sauna is a horror film about sins, repentance and forgiveness. The story leads us into the core of darkness, where there is no forgiveness, no hope, no salvation.

You'll find both the trailer and the original teaser in the Twitch Player below the break.
