Viy (2014) A Russian horror/fantasy movie

[UFOX]

Viy (Russian: Вий) is an upcoming horror film produced by Russian Film Group and based on the Nikolai Gogol story "Viy".


Story:

Early 18th century. Cartographer Jonathan Green undertakes a scientific voyage from Western Europe to the East.
Having passed through Transylvania and crossed the Carpathian Mountains, he finds himself in a small village lost in impassible woods of Ukraine. Nothing but chance and heavy fog could bring him to this cursed place. People who live here do not resemble any other people which the traveler saw before that. The villagers, having dug a deep moat to fend themselves from the rest of the world, share a naive belief that they could save themselves from evil, failing to understand that evil has made its nest in their souls and is waiting for an opportunity to gush out upon the world.

Looks good and I hope it will get an English version blu-ray in the future
fingers crossed.

You know, in spite of the wonky CG, I will root for this movie, and give it a shot. It's obviously low budget, and they're trying to do the 'period piece as hyper-kinetic stylized action movie' which almost never works, but dammit, I love the original film, and a lot of the same great imagery is there. Let's hope it comes together.

That's the same case with the day-watch and night-watch movies,it suposed to be a trilogy but there was never a 3th movie
Love to see good movies from all over the world

I enjoyed black lightning on blu-ray!

Just watched Viy 3D in cinema. It is very entertaining mixed genre movie - adventure/horror/comedy. An original Viy story retold in new hyperactive style. Some scenes of the movie is real spooky, some scenes makes me laugh. It is evident that some scenes inspired by (or borrowed from) the movies such as Sleepy Hollow and From Dusk Till Dawn. So what? I believe that's good inspiration. I had lot of fun watching this.

I would like to purchase Viy 3D, I know it's on Sale in Russia, could someone possibly tell me if it's in English with English subtitles? As I can see there are Russian members on the forum.

Thanks,

Simon.

What the hell happened to this? Entertainment One released this on DVD as Forbidden Empire terribly dubbed into English with no Russian audio option. There was also 20 minutes hacked off.
