Early 18th century. Cartographer Jonathan Green undertakes a scientific voyage from Europe to the East. Having passed through Transylvania and crossed the Carpathian Mountains, he finds himself in a small village lost in impassible woods. Nothing but chance and heavy fog could bring him to this cursed place. People who live here do not resemble any other people which the traveler saw before that. The villagers, having dug a deep moat to fend themselves from the rest of the world, share a naive belief that they could save themselves from evil, failing to understand that evil has made its nest in their souls and is waiting for an opportunity to gush out upon the world.

"A nice adaptation of a short story Viy, that give an outside perspective of the events that happened!"

Harvey F Smith

"This movie was a well produced mess. With a budget of over 25 million, it shows in the production, costumes, elaborate sets and special effects but falls short in the story and horribly dubbed dialogue. There were some very cool creatures in this fantasy/adventure film but the editing was a disaster and the storyline was confusing and hard to follow. It's like The Brothers Grimm was made by drunk Russians. 4.5/10"

Vito Lupedee

"Really good british fantasy film. The acting is stellar and the special effects are great."

Darlene Stelly

"⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Annemarie Dupnick

"Sort of entertaining but as usual, local folklore was christianized and devils abound until a wealthy man from outside comes in to rid the town of their superstitions which inevitably lead to the deaths of women accused of witchcraft. Soooo predictable."

Morrigan

"Good action movie. I recommend this and its sequel "Iron Mask"."

Faith Shaffer

"Unusual, witty, and fun full of quirks and puns immersing the observer in a fantasy world where we follow Jonathan Green's story in which he must determine if science is the absolute truth or faith."
