I was absolutely in love with "Gogol. Nachalo" and couldn't wait to see the sequel. It's awesome. "Viy" differes from the first part, but in a good way. Again, all the actors are great, the decorations, costumes and makeup are wonderful. Thank you for it))) Now I'm longing to see how it all will end.

The long-awaited sequel
Chronicles part 2
Russian movies have done quite the leap in the Science Fiction department. The first part may have looked a bit like a Sleepy Hollow thing ... this has more detective parts in it. And while the movies sort of work as standalone movies, they actually only really work seen together (imho).
So it is quite difficult to understand how this will be (seen) by those who only watch this and not the other two movies. This is the middle part and we have become aware of the central characters ... we get more of them, but they stay "intriguing" to say the least ... Looks and sounds good, this seems a little bit more focused than the first ... but again, it may have to do with knowing the characters better by now.
Absolutely faboulos movie
The best Russian horror movie I saw, which could be the worthy competitor of western horror movies. I love the book and read it many times, I thought the movie will not be able fully describe the mysterious world of Gogol's stories, but I was excited from the first to the last minute. Playing of the actors are awesome, the special effects are fabulous and THE MUSIC! Just fantastic and already in my playlist. Highly recommend to see especially for lovers of Gogol's oeuvre.
