Described as being the first feature-length Finnish superhero film (and hopefully not the last), it was released in theaters across its native country last year, in addition to playing at the Helsinki International Film Festival and Germany’s Fantasy Filmfest.
The titular Rendel, played by Kristofer Gummerus, is a masked one-man army who isn’t afraid to literally crack a few heads in his war against the VALA criminal organization. If you happen to be on Rendel’s naughty list, you had better start making peace with whichever fictional deity you believe in because unlike Batman, he isn’t afraid to permanently put down his enemies.
Rendel: Dark Vengeance also stars Bianca Bradey, Alina Tomnikov, Michael Hall, Johnny Vivash, Reino Nordin, and Sheila Shah. In addition to the physical release mentioned above, the film is also available to stream on Amazon Video.
