Featured reviews
What unfolds is a chilling descent into a love transformed into something monstrous. While Cyril does return to Zhenya, his affection is warped into a terrifying, all-consuming possessiveness. The film masterfully portrays how this twisted devotion manifests in his behavior, turning what should be a reunion into a suffocating nightmare. His actions become increasingly extreme, driven by a maddened desire to keep Zhenya entirely to himself, even if it means eliminating any perceived threat to their bond. The very essence of love and lust is distorted, becoming a destructive force that traps both characters in a horrifying cycle.
"Dark Spell" delves deep into the psychological torment of its characters, exploring the irreversible nature of the dark ritual. The film highlights how the spell's power transcends even death, ensuring that the demonic pact continues to bind them in a horrifying union. It's a suspenseful and unsettling journey into the perils of manipulating fate, where the bonds of love become chains of terror.

I thought it was a very good story. I'm thinking a lot of the negative reviews are on the 'acting' the only bad acting/script is the Americanisation of the dubbing. The rest of the world don't speak with an American dialect. So makes this Russian film seem poorly scripted. But it's not. Just poorly dubbed.
It's certainly not the predictable Hollywood type supernatural/horror. Yet again possibly why some are negative towards it. Because it's just not Hollywood enough!

The cinematography and lighting with the thriller parts are so good. Very very underrated work of art and the performance of actors were awesome. Quite a good movie.
Modern Russian Cinema often impresses at War, Sci-Fi, & Disaster films ...sometimes, they're surprisingly good. But in my opinion, they still fall slightly short on the Horror genre. I have yet to see one that chilled me to the bone... some have a few scare & creepy scenes, with superb atmospheric filming & effects. But nothing out of ordinary or unique if we're used to watching horror films that already exist on our shelves. As a matter of fact, the ENTIRE HORROR GENRE has deteriorated across the globe for the most part in recent years. Not sure what the problem is...
