La Maldición de la Reina de Picas

Once again starting with the sequel, but fortunately I found the predecessor, which has little to do with this one, only the Lady of the Mirror is a remnant, the stories are independent of each other, here more interesting than the previous one, a more adolescent tone, dark boarding school atmosphere, interesting deaths, nothing very innovative, but a taste of carnival entertainment... Enjoying Russian horror films...

The sinister ghost of the Queen of Spades is once again thirsty for blood, and this time, her victims are the students of the boarding school located in an old mansion, shrouded in dark rumors. Amusing themselves with the horror stories about the murders of children in this house in the 19th century, the teenagers find a mirror covered in mysterious drawings in the abandoned wing of the building. For fun, they begin a mystical ritual, seeking to summon the spirit of the Queen to fulfill their wishes, without knowing that their own souls will be the price to pay for each whim.

My first time going to a cinema watching a horror film where the crowds was just silent it felt like everyone was asleep. A quarter left half way through the movie. How this movie got above 3 stars rating blows my mind.

Its "terror" resides in soundtrack, places, and visuals that do not make it. It is very similar to a 2000 movie in that its fun is in the nonsense of teenagers with urban legends.

Pikovaya dama. Zazerkalye is a decent Russian flick, amazing locations inside the boarding school and outside between a beautiful but mysterious forest and a lake. The cast was just ok, the score is weak and the script sometimes is stranger and illogical, but the film is funny with a creepy cinematography. Watch it if you are looking for a teen horror film.

I've seen more than 5.000 movies in my life, and this one deserves a spot on the Top 10 WORST. Everything was so ludicrous and cliché that people were laughing after the session. And to make things worst, the film was very poorly dubbed in english (at least here in Brazil), with no lip sync at all and any "acting" effort, like someone was just reading the lines from a piece of paper and trying to keep up with the original actor's lines. What a mess...
