Reminded me of the wretched so which came first the problem with Russian films they get most of it right but really crap story tellers i recommend you watched the wretched much better movie about a witch simililar principle too
"Baba Yaga: Terror of the Dark Forest" is a Horror movie in which we watch a young boy observing the strange behavior of the nanny his parents hired to take care of his sister along with some strange things that happened in his house from the moment the nanny started working there. He starts searching for it but one day her sister gone missing and nobody remembers neither her nor the nanny.
I had high expectations from this movie because of the back story of Baba Yaga but I was disappointed by the result. The plot was simple but nice, there were also some good scenes but despite that the movie was average. There was not any peak in the movie or any interpretation of the cast that I will remember in the future. Lastly, I believe that "Baba Yaga: Terror of the Dark Forest" is just another average horror movie with no surprises or anything new to show so, if you don't want to waste your time and watch another average movie like this, just watch some other horror movie.

My expectations weren't high for this film, but I still left unsatisfied with the story.
There are definitely more entertaining and better films portraying this classic folktale.
What can I say? It's just another horror movies among thousands of similar ones.
It's not especially interesting but it could work better for a younger audience (like teens, I guess).
Thus film needed a center. A lot of things happening just for the sake of happening. Production level is good. The English dub is a little corny. There are some creepy things in this, it just felt very chaotic and disorganized. Missed opportunities with this film.

- TriviaAlthough the mythological Baba Yaga kidnaps and eats children and seems to go hunting for them throughout the day for her evening meal, she also serves as a catalyst for change. There are a number of tales in which she acts as an agent of transformation, helping the heroine or hero toward self-actualization and the completion of a quest. In this form, Baba Yaga is probably best known from the story Vasilissa the Beautiful in which she inadvertently frees the heroine from the tyranny of her stepmother and stepsisters. And even in the movie, is throughout her terror that the children get noticed, loved and missed by their parents/guardians.
