Finland’s New Holiday Horror Film Will Give You ‘The Creeps’ This December

Horror, action, and comedy meet in The Creeps, from writer-director Marko Mäkilaakso (Sorjonen, War of the Dead, It Cape from the Desert) set to begin filming this March in Kajawood, Vuokatti, as well as in Jyväskylä,
Finland.

Produced by Black Lion Pictures and Frozen Flam Pictures, The Creeps stars Hollywood legend Christopher Lambert (Highlander, Greystoke, Mortal Kombat), and Chris Cavalier (Hidden Figures, Teenage Bounty Hunters) along with Iiro Panula (Teit meistä kauniin, Sorjonen, Veljeni vartija, Valmentaja). Miika J. Norvanto and Timo Puustinen (Rendel movies) produce.

“In the film, two young Americans prepare for the celebration of Monsterfest, an event in the skiing center of Vuokatti, but the party is soon interrupted when the Creeps – small but lethal – take over the event.”

Inspired by 80-90’s classics like Gremlins, Critters, and Highlander. The Creeps brings in Nordic style to the subgenre. The creatures are designed by Disney veteran Barry Atkinson (The Lion King, Heavy Metal, Pocahontas, An American Tail, The Land before time).”

The film will aim for a premiere in December 2021 in Finland followed by international distribution.

We are extremely happy and excited that we get to produce The Creeps with
Mäkilaakso. We have been planning a film together for a long time, and now we can
finally get to work on it. Of course, having Christopher Lambert with us is a dream come true in so
many ways. This is an awesome start for Kajawood and it’s international
productions still to come”, producer Miika J. Norvanto states.

We finally get to carry out this genre I love, and which I miss from my childhood.
1980-90’s nostalgia, action, comedy, and innocence. Pure unexcused
entertainment“, producer Timo Puustinen says.
The Creeps will be a very entertaining, popcorn-flick for a large audience, and it is
insanely great that Christopher, Chris, and other actors are in this fun adventure“,
said director-screenwriter Marko Mäkilaakso.
