Finnish horror film Tick Fever explores anxiety through bloodsucking ticks
Director Sebastian Granskog and producer Mia Palmgren present their new body horror film Tick Fever at the Finnish Film Affair.
Production team discusses tick concept
Producer Mia Palmgren stated that the idea clicked immediately when director Sebastian Granskog mentioned ticks. She noted that these insects have not been the subject of a horror film before. The tiny insect serves as a metaphor for the monsters in the movie.
Main characters face relationship struggles
The film follows a codependent couple named Victor and Stella who cannot live together but also cannot break up. Their relationship mirrors the growing anxiety that the characters feel throughout the story. The production company Character House is behind this project as well as other recent Finnish films.
Actors portray anxious lead roles
Actors Elias Salonen and Anna Böhm will portray the leads in the upcoming movie. They are cast to show a world that is scary and anxiety-inducing for the characters. The film represents the first time this specific concept has been presented at the Finnish Film Affair.
