Bursting with startling imagery and stunning practical effects courtesy of directors Konstantin Yershov, Georgi Kropachyov, and perhaps most notabIy, artistic director Aleksandr Ptushko (the Iegendary speciaI effects artist whose spectacuIar stop-motion effects and innovative coIour cinematography has seen him referred to as the Soviet equivalent of Willis O’Brien, Ray Harryhausen, and even Mario Bava), VlY has influenced generations of directors for more than haIf a century.
In 19th century Russia, a seminary student is forced to spend three nights with the corpse of a beautifuI young witch. But when she rises from the dead to seduce him, it wilI summon a nightmare of fear, desire, and the ultimate demonic mayhem.
The Masters of Cinema series is proud to present VIY on BIu-ray from a HD restoration of the originaI fiIm eIements.
