Remember Eurovision winners Lordi? Well, they have a movie out.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Lordi, a Finnish band with monster costumes and make up, won the 2006 Eurovision song contest. They also toured the US, being main stage performers at Ozzfest 2007. Now they have a movie out, called "Dark Floors". It is a horror movie that is based on the idea of Mr Lordi, the singer, and director Pete Riski, a childhood friend of Mr Lordi. The movie is about a group of people in a hospital where everyone else suddenly disappears. The movie features the Lordi members as the monsters of the movie, of course. The premiere was in Finland on Feb 2, and was a disappointment in the box office, and was panned by critics However, the production company has high hopes of selling the movie to other countries. So far only Estonia release date,Feb 29, is listed on imdb.
Here's the trailer







Not really new, but I didn't see this posted. Basically, this is apparently just like any other average(bad) clichéd horror movie with the element of having the Lordi members in it. Though, I think the director said that there had to be a cliched plot as the Lordi costumes as cliched as well. Paying respect to the genre, or something. But you gotta love the tagline, "The fear is here". It's like they didn't even try.

I'm shocked, to be honest.

I think that you're only replying to me to showcase the array of icons you have.

I'm truly impressed, I have to admit. Not every Tom, Dick and Harry has a plus account. You're ~lj elite~, bb.

Most undeserving Eurovision winners ever.
[info]abbichicken 16th-Feb-2008 08:27 pm (UTC)

I am still regretting not buying the Lordi dustbin they had for sale in Stockmann in Helsinki. Best merchandise ever.
[info]like_a_beesting 16th-Feb-2008 08:54 pm (UTC)
They had dustbins?

Damn, all I got was a pencil case and candy.
[info]abbichicken 16th-Feb-2008 09:02 pm (UTC)

There were dustbins. Too cool. Also notepads and lever arch files XD
[info]like_a_beesting 16th-Feb-2008 09:18 pm (UTC)
That's amazing. I think I was in Finland though for the last dying remains of Lori mania, I went last summer, because I didn't see anything that awesome.
[info]abbichicken 16th-Feb-2008 09:52 pm (UTC)

Eh that's when I was there too! Definitely there, Stockmann and Sokos XD They're excellent with the homeware, the Finnish. I just wish I'd had a bigger suitcase and more disposable income there ;)
[info]like_a_beesting 16th-Feb-2008 10:10 pm (UTC)
Dude, I am so disapointed I didn't see these dustbins. Because that would have been total win.

Yes, more money would have been awesome. I came home with way more stuff for my house than clothes or anything else. The girl I was staying with too me to the marimeko (not sure on the spelling of that) stores which was just deadly. And an arikka store, I bought like an entire tablewear set.
[info]abbichicken 16th-Feb-2008 10:44 pm (UTC)

Totally. And they were stupidly cheap too. I feel my living room is completely lacking in quality refuse merchandise *sighs*

Argh, Marimekko was like walking into the valley of temptation! Their bags are amazing beyond the world and everything, and that's before even considering the dresses... And the Arabia outlet store with all the porcelain was on my way back to where I was living then and it was a constant ner-ner of everything I could not afford - or that would probably have got broken on the way home! I ended up with a few Moomin mugs... Why is the UK incapable of such awesome crockery? And who knew crockery could be that fun anyway?

Haha, trying living in Canada and find awesome plates and cups.

This reminds of the scene in Empire Records with Mark "Hey Mark, Gwar wants go to be in the band!"
[info]triplescience 16th-Feb-2008 09:42 pm (UTC)
"hey Mark, man, you play a mean guitar..... it's really a shame.... that YOU MUST DIIIEEE!"

lololol

I'm so bored today, I think i might have to watch that movie.

If those dudes won on 2006 why didn't this one win last year?
