Featured Crew
The year 1829. Nikolay Gogol, a young Third Section clerk, is desperate: his own books seem shallow and mediocre, so he keeps buying entire print runs just to burn them all. He is suffering from violent epileptic seizures and struggles to keep on working. Investigator Yakov Guro accidentally witnesses one such fit and realizes that Gogol's visions contain clues that could help solve actual crimes. Together, Gogol and Guro take on a particularly weird and baffling case that brings them to a small village of Dikanka, where everyone has a huge secret to hide.
A mysterious Dark Horseman slays young girls near the village of Dikanka, and he has already butchered 11 ladies. Nikolai Gogol, a scribe from Saint Petersburg has to take charge of the investigation, but the closer he gets to solving the case, the more fits he has, causing macabre visions. When he learns the next victim is his beloved, Liza, he doubts that he can protect her and resist the murderer. Fortunately, he meets somebody who can help him: Khoma Brut, the witch hunter, martial artist and philosopher. Together they spend three dreadful nights in an old chapel reading the funeral service for Ulyana, the witch, and calling upon the ghastly evil spirit Viy.
Dwieście lat temu małe rosyjskie wioski zostały spustoszone przez gang nie-chrześcijan, Lachów, prowadzony przez potężnego czarnoksiężnika. Od tego czasu po okolicy jeździ nieznany "Czarny Jeździec" i porywa młode dziewczyny i okrutnie je każe. A Lisa może stać się jego kolejną ofiarą. Aby uratować ukochaną, pisarz Nikołaj Gogol musi zerwać złe czary i pokonać starożytną klątwę. Żadnemu ze śmiertelników jeszcze się to nie udało, ale na szczęście genialny metropolita-detektyw Jakow Guro przybywa na pomoc Gogolowi i ma już głównego podejrzanego.
