Crna svadba

Something great coming from Serbia, a whole new myth to be unpacked: an ancient black magic that is not voodoo or western christian narrative. This is better, more sinister. I have only seen 3 EP so far, but can't wait for the next one. Storylines, separated by decades, characters, eary atmosphere and Serbian dark humor really make a gem out of this show. Makers of Crna svadba (Black Wedding) promise awesome climax. This will be delicious bite for fans of different genres. Watch!

After i watched show and saw its rating, i felt need to jump here and give contribution in correcting it. Clishe after clishe, poor acting, awful dialogues, plot from American B movies, lots of obvious stupidities (agent of "Bezbednost" for example), needles sex scenes, and so much more. Good first three episodes, good overall idea, great opening titles, good cinematography, great music and (occasionally) directing. But not enough for 8.

Right, because every tradition older and other than Christianity is 'demonic' and 'evil'.

This started off well but quickly spiraled down to yet another uninspired, washed out, seen-a-million-times-before church pamphlet.

Waste of time.

Too many dialogues in the script that sound so unnatural to the native Serbian. It feels like somebody took an American low-budget soap horror show and just translated it with zero effort for adaptation. A couple of great actors (like Nikola Kojo) managed to increase the poor quality of their lines to an okay level, but it's still cringe. Standard Serbian sex, nudity and vulgarity are present. A couple of cool technical details, but terrbile CGI (driving scenes are so painful to watch). If you're into religeous, black magic and mystery stuff, you'll be entertained by the plot for a couple of hours, otherwise you'll fall asleep instatly, because the narative is soooo slow.

Misitical topics, faith and complex story about dark but compelling characters. Slavko Stimac as an antihero is just amazing. I just couldn't imagine him in a role like this, but after watching 4 episodes of Crna svadba I can say that his performance is one of the best I have seen in ages!
