VIY: First Preview
A big budget Russian horror which was an adaptation of Nikolai Gogol's popular 1835 short story about the demon Viy -- whose gaze was deadly if met eye-to-eye -- it was scheduled to be released in 2009 to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Gogol's birth. The film ‘Viy’ is first and foremost intended to be a thriller/adventure movie packed full of stunning images and vivid characters all of which are given extra flavour thanks to Gogol’s own brand of mysticism and his feel for a sense of terror.
Early 18th century. Cartographer Jonathan Green undertakes a scientific voyage from Europe to the East. Having passed through Transylvania and crossed the Carpathian Mountains, he finds himself in a small village lost in impassible woods. 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. Even in his worst nightmares our materialistic scientist could not suppose that he was going to meet devil’s faithful servant.
