Note : Ukraine has obviously been in the news a lot lately, so I thought we'd take on something related, a Soviet film based on a purported folktale by the great Ukrainian writer Nikolai Gogol (not the inventor of the search engine). I say purported, because while Gogol himself says the original novella was simply a retelling of a folk tale told to him, there's no indication it's really anything but his invention. This film is the first, and one of the very few, horror movies produced in the Soviet Union.

Either way, a group of three young seminarians leave Kyiv on break, find themselves lost, and take refuge in what turns out to be the house of a witch. One of them, Brutus, is ridden through the air by the witch, before he beats her half to death with a piece of wood and escapes. Returning to the seminary, he's ordered to go and pray for the dying daughter of an important Cossack leader, who turns out to be the witch he killed, having called him to pray for her so she can take her revenge. She dies before he arrives, but he has to endure three nights locked in a church praying over the corpse, and she's quite vengeful even in death. A nice little folk horror story with some phantasmagoric practical and optical effects, mixed with very broad physical comedy and constant reinforcement of the stereotype of the vodka-swilling Cossack.

This is not the greatest remaster, somewhat unstable and fuzzy, but it does the job, and at least the colors and contrast are quite good, which helps bring home the inventive effects in the later parts of the film, when the spirit world encroaches on the real in increasingly wild ways.

While you download, please take a moment to see if you can help out the victims of the war in Ukraine, for instance by giving to some of the charities on this list.
