A movie full of tension

[olcayozfirat · 6/10 · 7 April 2024]

Russian horror movie made in 2023. The tension dose is on point. I felt cold while watching. It's not a bad movie in my opinion.

A father brings his drug-addicted son to a mountain town to save him. It's winter. Wolves are attacking the town. The wolf pack is infected with rabies. Now the father has to save both his son and his own life.

The real death toll occurs in the bear attack, which makes me say oh my god.

The only thing I'm stuck on is how the kid got out of that drug addiction immediately.

Aleksey Serebryakov, whom we know as the mafia boss in the movie Nobody, stars in the movie. The acting is quite good.

There is no sexuality or nudity in the movie.

Amazing adventure horror drama

[searchanddestroy-1 · 7 October 2023]

What a hit in the face this Russian film in the best we can find, besides the Hollywood like crap that Russians may also produce from time to time. This is truly the kind of Russian film which I am mad about : poignant, powerful, rough, with no length at all. The relationship between this man and his drug addict son justifies to watch it, besides the rest which is also outstanding. In this movie, you have two parts, very different one from the other. It may have been inspired from American horror films, but I don't care; after all, which film is not inspired by another one? Something in this story reminded me Joe Carnahan's THE GREY - with Liam Neeson when he was still good - settings, some plot elements, lead character.... An excellent Russian horror flick.
