Modern Russian Cinema often impresses at War, Sci-Fi, & Disaster films ...sometimes, they're surprisingly good. But in my opinion, they still fall slightly short on the Horror genre. I have yet to see one that chilled me to the bone... some have a few scare & creepy scenes, with superb atmospheric filming & effects. But nothing out of ordinary or unique if we're used to watching horror films that already exist on our shelves. As a matter of fact, the ENTIRE HORROR GENRE has deteriorated across the globe for the most part in recent years. Not sure what the problem is...
Plot summary
Zhenya suffers from still being in in love with Cyril, her husband, who has left her, so she decides to bring him back. In her desperation, she casts a spell called "Black Wedding", a magical ritual known for its great power and irreversibility. After the ritual, her beloved husband comes back to her, although his love becomes a deadly obsession: he is even eager to kill Zhenya, so as not to share her with anyone. When the maddened Cyril dies in an accident, the spell does not stop: because even death will not part those who were betrothed by the demon of the ritual.

Decent...
Ignore the negativity ....
I thought it was a very good story. I'm thinking a lot of the negative reviews are on the 'acting' the only bad acting/script is the Americanisation of the dubbing. The rest of the world don't speak with an American dialect. So makes this Russian film seem poorly scripted. But it's not. Just poorly dubbed.
It's certainly not the predictable Hollywood type supernatural/horror. Yet again possibly why some are negative towards it. Because it's just not Hollywood enough!
I like it
So the whole concept of summoning the devil to get what you want is always a cliche. I mean it obviously ends up bad. But the movie has enough scares to keep you interested. The ending only sucks because the main protagonist gets what's coming to her. It's the devil, right? You always end up losing your soul because you called him.
