Movie Reviews

Chicago Reader - 5/10 by Fred CamperRussian director Alexander Ptushko is known for his special effects, which have an appropriately low-tech charm in this 1967 folktale.
User Review - 10/10 by Nikitos WMarvellously, how this awful gleam could take place in such unfriendly conditions as the Soviet cinematography. For the smuggling of horrors took 3 director - two debutants and one recognized of the Soviet fantasy master. Fact that the film has no single author's hands, felt: damp and clampy of degree work adjoin with perfected weird episode, apparently belonging Ptushko. But these missteps hardly visible, and minimalistic style of the narration doesn't allow film to collapse (Good in this regard is weighted and rigid Kuravlyov's acting - no false theatricality). But interestingly not only that. It is known that in USSR sex was not. The horrors of Viy clearly demonstrate what fears born in the Soviet citizens's mind before of this non-existe monster. Varley's Witch is sexual, even glamorous notions of the 21 st century - but, see, how this sexuality is decorated! Coffin, decomposition, vermin, etc. Finally, a church with suffocating interiors - what is, if not a symbol of vagina? Authors are not interested in church from the outside - the whole interest and horror exclusively from the inside. And even those evil icons and locked doors - the complete set of threatening female characters. One can only guess who is such Viy. If the 'lift me eyelids', it can be a clitoris? Anyway, the main monster from the creators do not turned out desperately and was the same sad absurdities as King Kong in the first 'King Kong'. But let's return to the sexual overtones. Unhealthy situation to sex in the USSR is even of special transformation rituals involving sexual relationships, such as weddings. Marriage is the backbone, around which the majority classic horror untwist. In Viy hero invited his dead bride on the real anti-wedding, which motto - 'until death do not connect us'. '. Then Viy can be and should be seen as anti-priest, who draws up the legitimacy of the ritual. And here I should mention that scene in the church with the rate at the circle, whoever does filmed is PERFECT!
User Review - 10/10 by Preslava Nif you thought Viy was AWESOME I really recommend reading the story it is based on by Gogol, especially in Russian it is amazing...!
User Review - 10/10 by Philip PA seminarian in Czarist Ukraine must say prayers for three nights over the corpse of a deceased witch who had a vendetta against him. This Soviet era film, now available in the West, is one of the true classic horror movies, with no blood, sex or CGI but a brilliantly chilling story, amazingly elegant effects, and a final reel of full of horrifyingly conceived monsters . Faithfully adapted from the Nikolai Gogol short story.
User Review - 10/10 by Sergio Mprobably one of the most faithful book adaptations to the big screen. i absotutely adored every single moment of it, from the flying scene at the beginning, to the madness of the 3rd night. how good were the giant grabbing hands? and the demons and vampires? and the flying coffin? not very impressed by viy itself, but i won't hold it against it.
User Review - 10/10 by Johnny KSupposedly the 1st Horror film made in Russia it's good worth checking out. It also has a lot of comedy before things get scary.
User Review - 10/10 by Jens TIf you combine Bergman and some of Bresson's metaphysical elements with the subsequent fantasy touches of Pasolini in 1974 and the random horror/fantasy insanity you're already familiar with in this era, you get Viy, a groundbreaking glimpse into the collision between the impossible magic of celluloid and a "Tarkovskian" struggle of faith against demons. Unique and influential masterpiece that opened new boundaries for camp fun in the most artistic way possible. 99/100
User Review - 8/10 by Thanasis Ai prefer that kind of pretty fairytails with oldfashion effects, than the new plastic horrors! really enjoy it...
User Review - 8/10 by Private UNot a great movie; but bizarre special effects make this a memorable Russian horror movie based on Gogol's great short story.
User Review - 8/10 by David AGood fun - a horror film if you are under ten but a few jump out you seat moments some rather good humorous moments. Kind of "Francesco, giullare di Dio" meets Hammer.
