Trailer Unleashed For ‘(Pri)sons,’ The Most Brutal Film To Ever Come Out Of Finland

(Pri)sons, reportedly the most brutal and bloody film ever made in Finland, is giving viewers a glimpse at the action with its first teaser. The film centers on a ragtag group of criminals who must band together to fight for survival when an army of bloodthirsty assassins besieges an underground marketplace of illegal activities. (Pri)sons marks the most ambitious film of director-cinematographer Esa Jussila, who has built a long-lasting career in genre and exploitation underground film.

The film is unique because of the amount of violence, special effects, and demanding stunts that all the actors had to perform. “To me, this film is an amalgamation of two genres I hold very dear, those being old school action movies and extreme horror.
