Encores added! Step into a world where folklore nightmare and innocence walk hand in hand as we present the long-awated Soviet classic Viy! This hallucinatory delight of Eastern European cinematic magic is sure to satisfy fans of gothic and folk horror! Get ready to be haunted.

Viy is Soviet cinema’s first officially sanctioned horror film—and it doesn’t hold back. Adapted from Nikolai Gogol’s macabre tale, this supernatural fever dream follows a hapless seminarian forced to spend three nights praying over the body of a witch. What begins as eerie restraint explodes into phantasmagoric spectacle, complete with flying coffins, demonic hordes, and otherworldly visions rendered with wild, hand-crafted ingenuity.
