Finnish rockers Lordi, Eurovision winners in 2006, have begun work on their first movie.

Unsurprisingly it's a horror film. Titled Dark Floors, it is being shot in Finland with the four members of the band.

The film has been described by the band's lead singer, Mr Lordi, as a "traditional modern horror" that will feature monsters and "horrific scenes"

The film has been described by the band's lead singer, Mr Lordi, as a "traditional modern horror" that will feature monsters and "horrific scenes".

Mr Lordi, whose real name is Tomi Putaansuu, said that the band's monster masks were inspired by horror films so making such a film was a "natural move".

The film is expected to premiere in Finland next February.
