Lempo combines the talents of Finnish-Canadian sisters Laura-Lynn Petrick and Tina Petrick to create a Nordic-style folk horror film based on Finnish mythology and the journey of the filmmakers' ancestors from fleeing Russian-occupied Finland to settling homesteads in rural Northwestern Ontario.
about Lempo the film
Once best childhood friends from the lake, now at 26, Shaun and Annie find themselves spending summer of 2004 at neighbouring cabins. But as the cyclical return nears of Lempo, a Finnish demon, Annie must decide: Sacrifice herself to break an intergenerational curse or trust in love and fight back.
Set in the raw, unbridled wild of Northwestern Ontario. In the Finnish settlement of Lappe.
