Backwood Madness (2025) Movie Script
Since the dawn of time man and forest
beings have coexisted in harmony.
Eventually this peace was broken
by man's negligence and greed.
Did you have another nightmare?
The other children teased me.
Because of the ear?
My hair is falling out.
I don't want to be different.
- Don't worry about them.
You're fine just the way you are.
Let's go home.
Your mother is worried sick.
The Russians are here.
I -
Troll.
Come quick.
There are too many of them.
Attack.
Rahko, blood.
I am sorry, I cannot.
My blood shall flow when it is time.
At least oksa will avenge us.
Oksa will avenge.
The first assault.
What happened?
- Those demons.
A goddamn troll ambushed us.
It shot Father Juhani.
Come take a look, Vin.
Where have you been?
Trolls.
- Where?
In the Blomberg woods.
- Let's head there at once.
You go ahead, we'll catch up.
Jussi, help me with Father Juhani.
He needs rest.
Anything else we can do?
- There's no denying it.
I don't have much time left.
I want to hold a sermon tomorrow.
My last sermon.
With you all and my son there.
Look after Aatami.
That boy will need
all the support he can get.
There's nothing but bodies here.
Well, well.
Should we shoot it now or immediately?
Goddamn it, guys. Leave it.
Those bastards killed
our friends and loved ones.
This one's innocent,
she hasn't done anything.
Traitor.
- Let's blow his brains out right away.
Torko, stop it.
Human, why did you help this troll?
She hasn't done anything.
All humans have lost their minds.
Why haven't you?
If you had the opportunity to end all this,
would you take it?
Yes, I would.
Even if you had to sacrifice your own life?
Follow me.
My tar has healed your gunshot wound.
We must hurry to the pond of the troll king.
The troll king resides within that rock.
He overthrew oksa once.
He can do it again.
The Shaman showed me how to
open the mouth of the cave.
Rahko.
Rahko, why do you help humans?
That has to end now.
Witch doctor,
let's begin putrefying Rahko's blood.
For the final assault.
Human. If you want to help,
return to your own kind.
Soon no one's going to fucking trust you.
I am stuck
between two
worlds.
The darkness growing deep within the woods
has not gone away.
Many have strayed from its balance.
Do not be ashamed of your origins.
Why do you still roam these woods?
You know why.
You're still trying to find Rahko's grave.
Believe me, it's only a myth.
We both know that's not true.
It doesn't exist for your kind.
Son of a priest.
These happenings are warning examples
and given as reprimands for us
who's part it is to live the end of times.
You can trust God.
He will not let temptation grow unbearable.
When faced with temptation,
God also provides a way out
so you can endure it.
Can you manage?
- You take over.
My friends and the congregation.
Even though these demons walk among us,
you must trust in God.
He'll help you through the trying times.
He's with you as with Father Juhani.
My work here is done.
I shall continue it at God's.
You continue my work here.
Alongside Father Kyyrl.
Father.
- My son.
God's love is most important.
Hate consumes the soul
and takes it to hell.
Piece by piece.
In the beginning God created heaven and
earth. God created man in His own image.
Man.
Nixies. Trolls. Goblins.
These unholy minions of Satan
slithered their way into our midst.
They stole our food and destroyed our crops.
They attacked our women and children.
You know what must be done.
These creatures must be destroyed
and sent back to hell.
Vin, wait up.
We need to talk.
Why is it that you're missing every time
we're looking for the goddamn things?
I've been carrying bodies.
Eating cakes, more like.
What do you want?
That you do your part.
Aatami and others are having doubts.
Soon no one's going to fucking trust you.
Well, all right then.
Next time I'll lead your bogeyman posse.
Good.
What do you want?
To trade.
You have the water goblin meat
for the location of Torko's grave?
Raised by Rahko's blood, bound by my spell.
only you can command this force.
And I shall.
The humans will drown in their own blood.
You were supposed to follow my father's
footsteps. To be the next Father Juhani.
My father, he was a great man.
It's your fault that he's dead.
- Please don't
Shut your mouth.
Just shut your mouth.
You did nothing.
I know what you people
have been saying about me.
We're on your side.
It's a shame you're not
going where my father is.
You could've sent him my regards.
But you and I,
we're going to the same place.
Torko.
Half-breed, why do you want
to go to Rahko's grave?
Rahko can make me fully human.
Why should I help you?
My father helped you during the war.
He wrote about you and Rahko in his diary.
oksa has sensed my presence for sure.
Rahko's buried at the ritual grounds
on the edge of the swamp.
You must hurry.
Someone's trying to find Rahko's grave.
Several guards have been killed.
It must be the Shaman,
that bearded piece of shit.
We must pick up the pace.
Make haste.
Vin, wait.
Put on the overalls.
There's some shitwork at the barn.
What's this about?
- Let's go.
Enough with the fucking questions.
The devil sleeps in the last stall.
Go get it.
Get up there.
I don't believe it.
She's pregnant.
- Goddamn it.
That changes nothing.
She has been tainted by the devil.
The Holy Spirit may live inside her.
- Do we take her to sauna to give birth?
We can't take it like that.
- Let's put a bag over her head.
No. You burn its face.
No one can recognize it. Ever.
No, no, no -
Shut up.
With tar.
- You can't be serious.
Well, think about it.
Hurry it up.
Get up.
Shut up. You go shut her up.
Is it normal?
- Yes, he is.
Too bad the mother didn't survive.
Don't take him.
You really found out where Rahko is buried.
You, a son of a priest.
- Don't call me that, you bearded fool.
oksa brings goblins back to life from the
trash. He's going to attack the humans.
Why should I care? Rahko can make me human
and that's the only reason I'm going to him.
A shaman is also needed
for the transformation.
And I need your help right now.
Good. Follow me.
Stop there.
Who are you?
Why have you come here?
The Shaman sent me.
He brings news of oksa.
Tell me
what the Shaman wants me to hear.
He says oksa has strayed
from nature's balance
That he wants to plunge us
into a new war with the humans.
oksa would never do something so rash
without my permission.
Oksa brings goblins back to life from trash
with the help of Rahko's blood.
If Rahko's blood resurrects the goblins,
then Rahko will be able to control them.
I know where Rahko is buried.
Someone has to distract Oksa
when you resurrect Rahko.
I will take care of oksa.
Go.
Vin. Where are you going?
Don't go.
That's the landmark for the swamp.
We're close.
Outsider, there are too many of them.
We must go.
Antti and Jussi, go get Tapio.
Hand me a knife.
Then pour the goblin blood.
Rahko.
No more dead goblins will be resurrected.
Must. Stop. Oksa.
Rahko, even though you're weak
you must try to stop the trash goblins.
Rahko has awoken.
Mikko.
Your spell didn't work.
I am sorry. I am out of strength.
Outsider, I have let down your father.
Now I trust you.
It may be too late.
Oksa.
May your blood spray all over these woods.
We can no longer trust Vin.
You have to go kill him.
We can't kill him.
I'm not the one who fathered a troll.
Goddamn it, he's my son.
God's blood runs in his veins.
My blood.
Now, you go take care of it.
You owe me this.
Vin, please don't.
Vin.
- Shut up.
Antti and Jussi, remember Kyyrl?
Aatami here killed him.
That's not true.
- Shut up already.
Hold the rapist for me, boys.
Let's see if we can get it running this time.
