Euthanizer

A typically crazy affair from Finland, where the main hero is a “real” hero. He actually euthanizes animals that had sad lives and their time to die is approaching. Or at least that’s the way he sees it. He helps them a little, speeds up their ordeal, and every now and then cashes in some money. But since he is a loner, and a bit of a freak, it’s only a matter of time before a group of Finnish assholes starts holding a grudge against him. So, what appeared in the beginning as a loner drama which isn’t for everybody evolves into an unexpected murder spree. It is definitely a movie that isn’t for everyone, though, and the Finns once again show that their cinematography is the strangest in Scandinavia and once again it goes to a bit different direction than the European mainstream would allow.

A strange indie affair from Finland. The film is about a man who is not very popular in the city, he makes a living by killing pets that the owners want to put down, because it's cheaper than a vet. While most of the horror takes place off-screen, it still has a quite disturbing feel to it, and even hits the gas unexpectedly at the end. Dog owners will probably smash the screen with nerves at the end. A strange, slower paced but fairly original drama/thriller. It was good for one viewing. 60% (30.08.2018)
