Bodom (internationally Lake Bodom) is a 2016 Finnish horror film directed by Taneli Mustonen. It is inspired by but not based on the 1960 Lake Bodom murders.
A group of Finnish friends decide to go camping by Lake Bodom to do a reconstruction of the 1960 murders.
In his review for Ilta-Sanomat, Tarmo Poussu called Bodom "the first Finnish horror film that meets the international standards". Jutta Sarhimaa from Helsingin Sanomat gave the film four out of five stars, complimenting the young actors, visual production and dialogue.
Mimosa Willamo won the best actress award at Screamfest in 2016.
