Fresh Stills From AJ Annila’s Finnish Horror Film SAUNA!
Posted by Todd Brown at 3:00pm.
Posted in Film News , Horror, Continental Europe & Russia.
We’ve been greatly looking forward to the sophomore feature film from young Finnish director AJ Annila for some time now. After the international success of his debut, Jade Warrior, Annila began work on a hard edged horror picture titled Sauna. Principal photography on the film just wrapped in Prague and a pair of fresh stills from the film have just been released. This pair aren’t nearly as graphic or disturbing as the first still released during the initial round of shooting but they give a good look at the principal characters from the film as well as Annila’s shooting style. It’s safe to say this guy knows his way around the camera.
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 the film’s teaser in the Twitch Player below the break and you can hit the link below for the stills.

The name of the movie is wrong. There’s no saunas in Russian villages, only banyas.

Man, is it me? Or does this one look like a total winner?
Some awesome visuals going on here!

The picture with the kid is probably the creepiest picture I’ve seen in ages.

Looks nice. Can’t wait to see it. By the way, the director’s last name is “Annila”, not “Anilla”.

Sounds like yet another cliche ghost story.
