Two Fantastic Fresh Teasers For Finnish Serial Killer Picture PRIEST OF EVIL
I have said for years now that the Nordic countries have a unique sensibility that make them perfect for noir tinged crime cinema. And coming in very much on the dark side of the spectrum - the dark, atmospheric and very bloody side - is Olli Saarela's big screen adaptation of Matti Yrjänä Joensuu's serial killer novel Harjunpää ja pahan pappi, released internationally as Priest of Evil.Here's how Amazon described the novel:

After a strange succession of deaths at Helsinki tube stations, the police are baffled: no one has seen anything and the tapes from the CCTV show nothing. Detective Sergeant Timo Harjunpaa of the Helsinki Violent Crimes Unit has seen more than enough of the seamier side of human nature in his career, but the forces of evil have never before crossed his path in such an overwhelming fashion. It emerges that his adversary is a deluded but dangerous character living in an underground bunker in the middle of an uninhabited Helsinki hillside. Detective Sergeant Harjunpaa must now face his most terrifying case yet.
We've run one previous teaser for this one already but a fresh pair of turned up and it looks as though Saarela may be staking his claim to be Europe's answer to David Fincher.
