Filming of the film began in May 2014 and lasted until Midsummer.[4] Filming lasted a total of four weeks, one week of which was filmed at the Tervaniemi Manor area in Tervakoski, Kanta-Häme.[5] The film's final production budget was €591,000, of which the Finnish Film Foundation's share was €290,000. The film's distribution company SF Film received €80,000 in marketing and distribution support from the Finnish Film Foundation.[2]

Like its predecessor, the film was poorly received by critics. Many gave the film only one star, but Aki Lehti from former Dome.fi site went even further without giving any stars, describing watching the film as "pure torture" and that the film "drowns its actors and audience in shit."[6]

Plot

edit

Jiri (Mikko Parikka) has established a summer bar on a holiday resort island, where he invites his friends, including Peppi (Sara Parikka), to spend the weekend. The horrors that happened earlier on the wedding cruise come back to haunt Peppi's mind when it turns out that Sampo Kaukovaara's sister Aino (Jasmin Voutilainen) is working for the summer in a local cottage village. In addition, with the strange things happening on the island, Peppi realizes that the nightmare is not over yet.
