4.0 out of 5 stars No horror thrills but still worth the price of admission., 25 Feb 2008

This review is from: Viy [DVD] (DVD)
I loved this film. It looks beautiful from start to finish with a great sense of care being taken with colour and light.

As the other reviewer has pointed out it's not really a horrifying horror film but it does get quite tense and there's a real sense of drama about it; especially in the build up of each consecutive night.

The protagonist is funny and engaging making for a watchable performance. Elements are camp but if you like a more artistic approach favouring style over realism then this is a little gem of a movie.

Also of note for those wary of foreign/subtitled films, the pace is snappy and I was surprised when it finished as it didn't feel like I had been watching it for that long.

This isn't Hellraiser but it is a wonderful experience that should delight any fan of stylised cinema.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gogol Fest, 17 Jun 2010
By 
Ken Raus "David O'Brien" (london) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: Viy [DVD] (DVD)
If you're a fan of the writer or of fairytales,this is for you ,given you're not a snob about trendy effects or reading subtitles...It is a great film because it's a literary translation of an interessant story about a shapeshifty witch, the daughter of a tough rich kulak or lordling,who seems like a hag and is yet a beauteous damsel who abducts frivolous seminary students for piggyback trips through the sky...It's not really scary but it is a fun romp and I thought the effects excellent and effective-It is theatrical and of its time,to be sure but so what?It's a european and a mythical theme and people still love such tales as it is a picturesque antidote to both the thematically bland or shabby and tendentious fare Hollywood stills churns out...It's good but many of the extras never played on my copy although the three silent films did as did the Gogol film...Good extras even then-A worthy buy.Dead Souls (Classics)

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful horror!, 22 April 2010
By 
Mrs. E. A. Molloy (Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Viy [DVD] [1967] (DVD)
One of the most lushly coloured and beautifully-shot films I've ever watched, The Viy is gripping, funny, creepy and lot of fun!
A young trainee-priest is engaged to watch over the body of a recently-deceased young woman, the beautiful daughter of a wealthy farmer, for three nights before her funeral; but knows something no-one else does - she's a witch! After being locked in to the chapel every evening, he is tormented throughout each night by various ways and things!
I cannot recommend this enough! If you like creepy films you'll love this. It looks like it was shot yesterday, and it genuinely gave me shivers down my spine :)
