"VIY: The Spirit of Evil' is a mix of fantasy and adventure with some elements of a horror, suspence and the occult, plus a hint of Van Helsing. Some sequences and editing could be improved but it is best to watch it without expectations and just enjoy the ride.
Produced by Russian Film Group and Marins Group, “Viy” stars Jason Flemyng from The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) and Charles Dance who plays Tywin Lannister in HBO’s Game of Thrones.

“Viy” is the name of the dark and notorious monster responsible for the deaths of many village folk in a sleepy 17th century Ukrainian village. Viy’s most terrifying ability is to murder and cut through the soul of any one with just the gaze of his many eyes.
The movie revolves around the voyages of a cartographer, Jonathan Green, who was spellbound by a heavy fog on his way to Eastern Europe and chanced upon a Ukrainian village which is under siege by the monster Viy and thus began his crusade to end the village’s misery.

“It's a classic story of redemption and of love and of adventure,” remarks lead Jason Flemyng.“The special effects and the 3D is as good if not better as I've ever seen it, so the potential is limitless. I've made a hundred films now and five of them I love, and Viy is one of those five.”

“Viy” became a certified hit when it was first released in Russia earlier this year. The first weekend take was $17 million, an all-time record for a Russian movie.
