We love superhero films round these parts, so we’re proud to present the trailer for Rendel, the first Finnish superhero film, which was recently released on its official Facebook page.

Rendel, like many heroes of the night, is driven by a thirst for vengeance, which, in this case, is against the corrupt business leaders who took his family from him.

Director Jesse Haaja, who is also the creator of the character Rendel, was kind enough to provide us with the following statement about how the film is shaping up: “I’m really excited about this release! So many things have changed since 2014. At that time I really wasn’t happy what we came up with. But this is a whole different story! I’m more than happy with the end result, and this is the film we set out to create. So I could say that my only fear is that my vision does not match the fan’s vision.”

Rendel’s official website is also looking pretty badass, if you fancy a look.

Synopsis:
RÄMÖ (Kris Gummerus) is a good husband and loving father struggling with unemployment in a country crushed by the depression. As a last resort to save his family from bankruptcy, he accepts a job in a criminal organization called VALA. The organization is led by merciless Mr. EROLA (Matti Onnismaa) and his son, ROTIKKA (Rami Rusinen). In his new job RÄMÖ makes a horrible mistake. As a result, Mr. EROLA orders RÄMÖ; his wife, ANETTE (Minttu Tamski); and his daughter, ENNI (Roosa-Maria Mäkinen) to be killed.

RÄMÖ is woken from his nightmare by a mysterious woman, MARLA (Alina Tomnikov), who whispers to him the words: “Every single member of VALA must die.” RÄMÖ is no longer the man he used to be. He has become RENDEL, and the only reason for his existence is revenge.

But can a man blinded by hatred and revenge still see justice?
