When four attractive teenagers go camping in the woods on the exact spot where four attractive teenagers were brutally murdered forty years ago, what the hell do they expect to happen? Lake Bodom, by Taneili Mustonon, shows us that the answer is… well, pretty much what you’d expect.
Setting it apart from the pack is that this backstory is ripped from reality. The Lake Bodom murders are one of Finland’s great unsolved mysteries: four teenagers sleeping soundly in their tents really were brutally murdered in 1960.
The killer introduced himself to his victims by plunging a knife through their canvas tent. Two hours later, three of the teenagers were mutilated beyond recognition and the sole survivor was staggering away with a concussion, a broken jaw and facial fractures. In a creepy detail the survivor reported glowing red eyes pursuing him as he ran through the dark forest. The killer promptly vanished,...

Set up last year to champion Scandinavian horror, the Nordic Genre Invasion has most recently infiltrated Cannes, where some significant deals have advanced the cause. Taneli Mustonen's Bodom is finally underway, and it's been joined on its journey to production by Pål Oie's Villmark Asylum and Marko Mäkilaakso's It Came From The Desert.Mustonen's Bodom is inspired by the legendary unsolved murders at Lake Bodom in 1960 (the metal-inclined may already be familiar with the Finnish Children of Bodom, named for the same reason). Set in the present day, the film is about two couples who go to Bodom to reconstruct the events. It goes badly. “We aim to bring down the whole camping industry in Finland,” production company Don Films' Aleksi Hyvärinen chuckled to Empire last autumn. Mustonen's most recent film, The Reunion, was the biggest homegrown box-office hit in Finland in more than a decade.Oie's Villmark...

Bloodstock Festival
The UK’s Mecca of Metal, Bloodstock Festival, is set to provide plenty of carnage and headbanging fun for those who crave down tuned guitars and venomous vocals. With the festival boasting artists from the likes of Megadeth, Aborted, Emperor, Down, Children of Bodom, Carcass, Dimmu Borgir and many more, 2014′s edition of the festival argues one of the strongest lineups to date.
But with such a wealth of talent across multiple stages, who do you decide to watch? Do you focus just to one of metal’s many subgenres? Or do you run around the festival site like a headless chicken trying to cram in as much live music as humanely possible? Whether you are an experienced festival-goer or a festival virgin, the decision process of deciding who to go and watch at a festival can be a troubling and difficult process which can often leave people...

I try to never make an interview article about myself, but I had to mention just how I discovered Heidi Shepherd, Carla Harvey and their kick ass metal band, Butcher Babies.
Last August, I was in the pit at the Mayhem Festival in Saratoga Springs, NY. I was waiting to see Children of Bodom, but there was one other act scheduled before Alexi Laiho and his Finnish brethren took the stage. A group called Butcher Babies. Fronted by two incredibly beautiful and awesomely aggressive ladies, Butcher Babies absolutely slayed the crowd in Saratoga and I knew I had to catch up with this band and interview them as the Dread Central readership would certainly fall in love with them as I did.
Although I wasn't able to coordinate a meeting at Rock and Shock 2013 where the band played, I was finally able to catch up with the two lead singers...

We were stoked to have one of our favorite bands visit the FEARnet studio recently: Philadelphia-based extreme metallers Motionless in White have been kicking much ass since we first featured them on these pages, with the latest landmark being the release of their second full-length album Infamous. This week the band unleashed their latest music video “America,” which joins their growing rogue's gallery of shocking and controversial visuals, and marks their first collaboration Shawn “Clown” Crahan, best known as the percussionist and official artist/chronicler for Slipknot. Motionless previously teamed up with Cody Snider (son of Twisted Sister's Dee Snider) for the stunning “Immaculate Misconception,” which made its world premiere on FEARnet (watch it here if you dare), and their latest is sure to ruffle even more feathers. Frontman Chris Motionless and keyboardist Josh Balz sat down with us to talk about the shocking “America” video and the ideas...
