El rito oscuro de la Reina de espadas

Not extremely amazing, but can watch if you want to see how Russian make scary movie.. Not really bad.. few scary or so called jump of the seat moments. way better than some of the stupied senseless zombie movies.

I went into this movie with no preconceptions and I came out satisfied. This is a foreign movie, with subtitles, but this gives it more character and in my opinion adds to the overall unique experience. I watched this with my 13 year old son and he was engaged the whole way through. The plot is tried and tested and nothing new but it is well played out with enough good twists in the plot to keep it interesting and the scares are not overdone or predictable. The epic aerial shots of the snow covered building somewhere in Russia are breathtaking and chilling and add to the uneasy cold gloomy feel that this movie maintains from the first scene. The acting is fresh and authentic and the characters are well cast and presented and are captivating and genuinely likeable, there is a authentic feel to this movie that a Hollywood blockbuster could never achieve. I absolutely loved every second of this movie and will definitely watch it again

Dont let subtitles put you off watching this. I'm fussy when it comes to horror movies and I can honestly say I was impressed with this one. Had a good storyline and had eerie moments. Definitely would give subbed horrors more of a chance!

Russian horror movies have really become quite good. This I would not categorize as really good, but it is decent enough. It does copy what the US is doing in general, with its cliches and all that. The monster looks quite alright (if you don't mind obvious CGI).

The story is predictable though, the characters behave mostly exactly how you'd suspect them to do (not always on the logic side of reason). But if you don't mind that, there is some entertainment to be had and some nice killings to watch (remember, it is just a movie)

Wasn't sure how to approach a Russian horror with subtitles but I think it was done very well. Kind of a take on The Ring, which I also liked. It was nice to see a decently made film without dopey teenagers running around causing havoc! Lots of scary moments, the acting was pretty good for a B movie. Very well paced and great atmospheric moments. Would recommend this to any horror fan.
