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.
