As the summer holiday season is getting closer to its end, Night Visions makes it easier to adjust back to normal by coming back from its summer break already on the first weekend of August. On Saturday, August 5, we are celebrating the final weeks of the ongoing Finnish summer at WHS Teatteri Union in Helsinki with special screenings of two mind-blowing features you’re not likely to come across at your local multiplex any time soon.
Showtimes:
06.00 PM HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS (USA 2022, dir. Mike Cheslik, 108 min)
08.15 PM MAD HEIDI (Switzerland 2022, dir. Johannes Hartmann & Sandro Klopfstein, 92 min)
Dialogue of both fetaures in English, no subtitles.
Tickets (10,00 euros a piece / 16,00 for the double feature) available through the venue’s webstore: https://teatteriunion.fi/elokuva/nv0508/

HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS press quotes:
“5/5 — A genuinely unique work of art that presents a reality that’s both entirely unhinged, yet totally coherent in its own way.”
– Joonatan Itkonen / Toisto.net
“9/10 — Exciting in ways you cannot imagine and must be seen to be believed”
– Michael Talbot-Haynes / Film Threat
“A slapstick epic full of hilarity, action, romance, and fluffy gore”
– Nicolas Delgadillo / Knotfest
“A true achievement in oddball independent filmmaking”
– Louisa Moore / Screen Zealots

MAD HEIDI press quotes:
“Good fun with gross action sequences”
– Paul Chapinal, Film-News
“You won’t really choose to watch this for the story. You’ll be more likely interested in the gore, violence and gratuitous nudity that is rife throughout the film.”
– Pip Ellwood-Hughes / Entertainment Focus
“A ton of fun and is sure to delight genre fans with a silly sense of humour”
– Kat Hughes / The Hollywood News
“A bonkers blend of horror, action, and comedy, filled with blood, bare breasts, and cheese of both the comedic and edible kinds. — The fight choreography and scenes are great, the science fiction and horror nods are a blast, the lower-budget special effects are a hoot, and the comedy lands more often than not. Mad Heidi is a mind-blowing celebration of what genre-film fans love, and if you consider yourself such a fan, you’ll want to seek out this crazy romp for an hour-and-a-half of fun entertainment.”
– Joseph Perry / Horror Fuel
