Feels like there's a hole inside

Everything's falling apart in a mining community somewhere in Lapland, Finland. Drugs and booze don't work, the only woman in a 100 mile radius is a slut and the barren landscape makes you mental. Started off slowly, as minimalistic and melancholic as the environment, but thanks to the brilliant performances by the four people in the lead (Pääru Oja, Laura Birn, Tommi Korpela and Elmer Bäck), Viimeiset gained momentum and prevailed in the end. Funnily, lots of Finnish acting heavyweights - Samuli Edelmann, Sulevi Peltola and Ilkka Koivula - were cast almost as extras.

That kid ain't a killer

A hitchhiker leaves quite a many dead people in his wake. A young man escapes the clutches of him and is subsequently stalked by the fucker....
