A VCR is used by a satanic sect to record a ritual sacrifice. Said VCR gets stolen an sold to our protagonist. At night, it glows and all of a sudden, people get murdered in very low-budget ways or off-screen. Who can the killer be?

"Night Vision" is a no-budget horror flick with nothing much to commend it. Poor acting, virtually non-existent script, and also makes the mistake of taking itself seriously. No even fun for bad movie fans, as there just isn't anything happening.

"Zombie and the Ghost train" starts off as a comedy, but as usual for the older Kaursmaki's sensibilities, it takes on a darker aspect pretty quickly. Annti purposefully gets himself thrown out of the army, then starts wandering around aimlessly, searching for something. Wonderful stuff, though there's not too much happening; there's the inevitable terseness of conversation and heavy drinking. Funny and sad in equal measures, it's a study in fatalistic decline and powerlessness and the ending is rather heartbreaking.
