Bayview Entertainment has gone the extra mile on Sept. 28 to land not one, but two films from the Baltic nation of Estonia for release on DVD in the domestic market.
Estonia? A country not normally known as a film production hot spot, but the writer and director of these two films is an international celebrity and he’s bound and determined to put his country on the map … and he’s doing a very good job of just that!
Two films from Estonia’s famous writing, singing, world class-dancing, directing, acting and yes, he is even a very talented painter, Mart Sander. His films have worked the international film festival circuit — and that happens when he’s not recording records, appearing on countless European shows or writing children’s books — and now both Eerie Fairy Tales and Behind the Random Denominator will be available here on DVD.
In 2015, his fans and friends encouraged him to write and direct films (he was already an established author) … and go the extra mile and star in his own creation, which is the very creepy — or some might say, a very “atmospheric” tale — which is titled Behind the Random Denominator.
Here Sander plays a loner, a drinker and with the rain, there is a gothic feel to his home, and with that you have to figure that he’s more than a little depressed. The phone rings. And then begins an evening where the turning-of-the-screws become ever more intense as the caller temps him into a game that can only end one way.
In Eerie Fairy Tales, Estonia’s “everyman,” Mart Sander has assembled a collection of horror and suspense tales from various parts of the world … a truly inspired collection that will give the viewer the chills.
One last thing, your likely knee-jerk is “presented in Estonian with English subtitles” … you would be wrong. Filmmaker Mart Sander shot both of his films in English, we forgot to mention that he is fluent in several languages.
