Kauhun millimetrit

About This Movie

Kauhun millimetrit is a fascinating 1992 Finnish horror film that captures a bleak, almost claustrophobic atmosphere. It’s set in the late '80s Helsinki, hinting at a time of social change, which adds a layer of eerie tension. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to sink into Marja’s growing paranoia and delusions after her seemingly trivial confrontation. The practical effects—though not extensive—are used effectively to convey a sense of dread. The performances are quite haunting, especially from the lead, who portrays Marja’s descent into madness with a raw intensity. There's this unsettling theme of how our actions can come back to haunt us, one that resonates in a uniquely Finnish way. It’s not your typical horror fare, but that's what makes it stand out.
