Gogol. Viy (2018)

In the village of Dikanka, a series of gruesome murders of young women is attributed to a sinister Dark Horseman, with a death toll now standing at 11. Nikolai Gogol, a scribe hailing from Saint Petersburg, is tasked with leading the investigation. However, as he delves deeper into the case, he is plagued by unsettling fits and haunted by disturbing visions. The stakes grow higher when he discovers that his beloved, Liza, is the next target. Fearing for her safety and his own ability to thwart the killer, Gogol crosses paths with Khoma Brut, a formidable figure skilled in witch hunting, martial arts, and philosophy. Together, they embark on a harrowing journey, spending three chilling nights in an ancient chapel to perform a solemn ritual for the deceased witch Ulyana and summon the malevolent spirit known as Viy.
