It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

The best Russian horror movie I saw, which could be the worthy competitor of western horror movies. I love the book and read it many times, I thought the movie will not be able fully describe the mysterious world of Gogol's stories, but I was excited from the first to the last minute. Playing of the actors are awesome, the special effects are fabulous and THE MUSIC! Just fantastic and already in my playlist. Highly recommend to see especially for lovers of Gogol's oeuvre.

I was absolutely in love with "Gogol. Nachalo" and couldn't wait to see the sequel. It's awesome. "Viy" differes from the first part, but in a good way. Again, all the actors are great, the decorations, costumes and makeup are wonderful. Thank you for it))) Now I'm longing to see how it all will end.
