Chroniken der Finsternis - Teil 2: Der Dämonenjäger

I love this gogol but I dont understand, is this a tv show or seperate movies? I stumbled across it quite by accident and while trying to find what i thought was a movie I instead found gogol tv series on YouTube. I suppose it doesnt matter but still strange. That aside this is a great show/movie. It has beautiful cinematography, the actors are very believable and the atmosphere and costuming/ set designs are as good as a period piece can be. It deffinatly reminds me of burtons sleepy hollow which i dont mind in the least, seeing how thats one of my favorite movies. I have nothing but positive to say about this show/movie. I dont know much of the legend of viy other then the movie viy; aka forbidden empire, which may or may not be related but regardless this is a brilliant film/ series. Highly recomend it to anyone who enjoys gothic period pieces you wont be dissapointed.

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.

I personally like these films. They have a great Gothic feel to them. We are battling demons, witches, nymphs and uncertain pasts making this a great boiling pot for an "Anything Could Happen" type of film.

I'd recommend it for folks who like to watch Gothic horror. While most of it is taking place in a small village, there are scenes of a more opulent nature taking place in the house of a nobleman so there is some of the more lush qualities of Gothic style to be seen and more to come in the next film.

I liked it and I am looking forward to the next film.

I really loved it, the atmosphere, the story, not knowing what will happen next, I think it deserves a higher score. I hope they will make another. I watched twice.

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.
