Review of Viy (1967) by Ben R — 17 Jul 2011

Sort of interesting movie, killer finish, but man, what a slow buildup. A rector gets an assignment to pray over a recently deceased woman. Problem is, she's a witch, and to make things even more complicated, he may have been involved in her death.

So the witch is not that happy, to say the least. As each night goes on, the young priest is tested more and more with weird stuff until the final battle, and that's when things get REALLY weird, but until then, it's a pretty banal sit through, russian cosacks in the countryside banal Hope you're ready for that.
