Review of Sauna

Sauna (2008)
7/10
[7.3] For the border contract only!
29 November 2020
Warning: Spoilers
A movie to be watched for its acting and very beautiful and mystical sceneries. Almost everything else is left to be desired. As soon as they discover the village and its unique surrounding! things start to crumble into Ring-like "Horror" cliche. Wouldn't have minded if the happenings were a little more well-woven and logical in the true sense of Horror logical; but, it was just atmosphere and scene after scene of crumbling nonsense.

People appear. People disappear. That's half-satisfying only in a 83-minute movie with an important goal as the background.

  • (+) The acting was good. Ville Virtanen shone in his very personal and characteristic way.
  • (+) The cinematography was very beautiful and set the mood.
  • (+) The score was on par.
  • (-) The Horror logic as deep as a well.
  • (-) The ending lacking.


Expected more, but, nevertheless, very nice visually. As for its message, no clue, discover it by yourself.
