Viy(1967)

The Soviet Union’s first horror film!

Viy is a Russian gothic horror film about a seminary student who kills an old witch during a monastery holiday in a remote village. The dying hag transforms into a beautiful young woman and demands he watch over her wake for three consecutive nights. As supernatural terrors mount and his faith falters, the student recites prayers through the long darkness, struggling to survive the escalating supernatural encounters. The film blends folk horror with religious dread, exploring themes of guilt, temptation, and the battle between faith and fear. Adapted from Nikolai Gogol's classic tale, Viy delivers atmospheric chills through its eerie village setting and unsettling supernatural imagery, making it a landmark work in Russian horror cinema.
