‘Sisu: Road to Revenge’ – Jalmari Helander’s Violent Action Sequel Gets Full Title and Plot Details
Writer/Director Jalmari Helander (Rare Exports, Big Game) is back this year with the sequel to ultra-violent Sisu, and its full title and plot have finally been revealed.
Screen Gems will release Sisu: Road to Revenge in theaters on November 21, 2025.
In the sequel, “Returning to the house where his family was brutally murdered during the war, ‘the man who refuses to die’ (Jorma Tommila) dismantles it, loads it on a truck, and is determined to rebuild it somewhere safe in their honor. When the Red Army commander who killed his family (Stephen Lang from Don’t Breathe) comes back hellbent on finishing the job, a relentless, eye-popping cross-country chase ensues – a fight to the death, full of clever, unbelievable action set pieces.”
In other words, death is personal in Sisu 2.
Richard Brake (3 from Hell) also stars in the upcoming sequel.
The original 2023 actioner introduced a solitary prospector during the last desperate days of WWII as he crosses paths with a nasty bunch of Nazis. When the Nazis steal his gold, they quickly discover that they have just tangled with no ordinary miner. They’ve severely underestimated the man and how far he’ll go, or kill, to get it back.
I wrote in my Sisu review for Bloody Disgusting, “Sisu feels like a gritty actioner of yesteryear but with a modern sense of style. Helander manages to keep progressing this bloody battle in surprising ways. When you think you’ve reached a showstopper action sequence or gory kill, expect another to come along to top it.”
Sisu was selected as one of the 10 best horror adjacent movies of 2023 here on BD.
Sisu: Road to Revenge is set to make its world premiere next month at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas. Stay tuned for our festival coverage and more on Helander’s action sequel.
