Bodom (internationally Lake Bodom) is a 2016 Finnish slasher film directed by Taneli Mustonen. It is inspired by, but not based upon, the 1960 Lake Bodom murders,[1] telling the story of a group of Finnish friends who decide to go camping by Lake Bodom to reconstruct the 1960 murders, but something goes wrong.

Bodom was invited to Cannes for an event organized by the Marché du Film, for which the films were chosen by a joint jury of the organizers of the event (the Cannes Film Market and the Canadian Frontières Film Event).[2]
