A female fashion model Anni Stark (played by Tiina Björkman) takes leave from the fashion business and goes to Finland's Lappland (a wilderness region in Northern Finland, better known as the home of Santa Claus) for a vacation. Little does she know that there's a totally lunatic bunch of local hillbillies living in a nearby farmhouse. The plot thickens as one of the residents begins to harass Anni, who is left alone in the wilderness with only her dog to protect her. Too bad for her that her dog turns out to have divided loyalties..

A sort of adult Home Alone, this Finnish thriller's irresistable attraction is Anni Stark, a fashion model who is given to undressing in front of her uncurtained windows. Unfortunately for her, she has chosen the wrong place to do this: a rural region populated by unscrupulous dimwits and a pair of lustful loony-tunes brothers who are in cahoots with them. She manages to escape these no-good-niks and, with the help of her inventive brother (who has come by for a visit), keeps them at bay using a number of clever (and painful) strategems. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
Anybody remembers this one?
This strange finnish slasher had some popularity in the english world too, thanks to VHS distribution in the late eighties (by a company called then DB video if I remember well - could not find any info on the web).
For now we are stuck with a bad VHS rip in FINNISH If someone has a better copy, please share
There's the second chapter too (not yet verified, but coming down fast):

This home-grown satire depends for its humor to a great extent on a keen knowledge of the Finnish language and of current events (1991) in that country. Otherwise, it mixes the conventions of romantic drama with some horror-film elements. In this story, which is a sequel of the film Kuutamosonaatti, the mother who was frozen to death and one of the two retarded brothers who burned to death are revived in a sauna, since saunas are so health-giving. These two quite slow country boys haven't a clue what to do in Helsinki, so they stumble into all sorts of amusing and gruesome situations. One particularly memorable scene has them encountering a 1918 Red Guard unit, now zombies, who were buried in a swamp during the Finnish civil war. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
