The movie was produced by Russian Film Group and Marins
Group and stars Jason Flemyng from the film The
Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The production was set in 17th
century Eastern Europe in a small town in Ukraine allegedly plagued by an evil
spirit called Viy who has the ability to murder and takes the soul of his
victim with just a gaze of his many eyes.
Jason Flemying plays the part of cartographer Jonathan
Greene and the story of his arrival and stay at the small village, where he
meets several characters that all played a part in the mystery surrounding the
myths about Viy and the unexplained things happening in the village.
The film was shot in Prague and became a certified hit when
it was released in Russia earlier this year taking in $17 million on its first
week.
As we’ve mentioned earlier, the movie will be shown starting
