Accidentally breaking the cross seal over Aza's tomb, Kruwayan becomes the catalyst for dark and mysterious events unfolding against the backdrop of Andrei's ardent passion for the young princess Katya, whose body and youth is being hunted by the evil witch...

Review 4K Movie

Mario Bava's best film, despite a bunch of absurdities and the ‘matryoshka doll and balalaika’ Russian setting.

The special effects were high quality for their time and are still frightening in places, although at times they are funny.

However, overall, the film immerses the viewer in an atmosphere of suspense and visual fear with cemetery crosses, creeping fog, and the living dead rising from the mud.
