This article contains Wonder Woman 1984 spoilers. We have a spoiler free review here.
There’s a lot going on throughout Wonder Woman 1984‘s (very long) runtime. At one point in the film we learn the origin of Diana’s Golden Eagle armor, and that it once belonged to a legendary Amazon warrior named Asteria, who stayed behind to fight the armies of men so that her sisters could escape to Themyscira. Diana mentions that she has tried to find Asteria since she arrived in “our” world, but so far hasn’t had any luck. It’s presumed that Asteria is lost to history.
Until that mid-credits scene, of course, when we see a mysterious robed figure avert disaster in a crowded marketplace. When she turns to the camera, we learn it’s not just Asteria, but a beloved figure in DC and pop culture history, and one who could have...

We don't often hear much news around these parts about horror movies from Finland, but then we don't usually get movies based on Finnish mythology about pissed-off killer bear spirits. Such a movie, Carcass, is in pre-production in Finland.
One of the oldest rites of the ancient Finns was the ritual for sending a bear to the underworld after it was killed. A celebration was held to make sure the bear’s appeased spirit would return to home. The prey was treated as a honored guest at the celebration so that it would return to the forest with its family and tribe. But the worst offense of all was to kill a sleeping bear in its winter nest. And the punishment for such a crime was the most ferocious of all. And, judging by Carcass, supernatural in nature.

A new Finnish horror titled Carcass, about a malevolent spirit of nature is hunting down evil townies who did it wrong, is on the cards. Directed by Marko Jatkola and Matti Jatkola, “Carcass” takes elements of Finnish mythology and nature combining them with traditional horror elements. Interestingly the movie will be filmed in both Finnish and English (handy for some international sales). Currently in pre-production the film is due out in the new year. Synopsis : "Killing a sleeping bear in it's nest, is the worst crime of all, punishment for that, is the most ferocious of all" – An old Finnish belief. English paparazzi Tom Simmons realizes his lifelong dream and becomes a nature photographer. His decision has been encouraged by the death of a celebrity, which Tom photographed as his last job. A new life surrounded by the beautiful nature, far away from London and accusing reporters, is waiting in Finland.
