I recently watched the movie "Viy" in 2014. I remember that I watched it as a child and was terribly afraid, and constantly shifted its viewing, but since it's Halloween, I watched it. I really liked it, of course I think some scenes in the film are particularly don't needed, but in general it's very cool. If you want to see something scary for the evening, and you wildly wanted to see something in the style of ancient Russia, then you can take a look
