Viy Ratings & Reviews
Asian Movie Pulse
Panos Kotzathanasis
"Viy" is a great film, which goes much further than its supernatural horror premises through the prowess in direction, acting, but most of all, audiovisual aspect that deem the movie a true epic.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
Mixes myth and legend with the dazzling visual panache of Aleksandr Ptushko brilliant imagination.
Chicago Reader
Fred Camper
Russian director Alexander Ptushko is known for his special effects, which have an appropriately low-tech charm in this 1967 folktale.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
The Viy itself is a disappointment, a lumbering, silly looking thing that would be right at home in The Neverending Story.
Brooklyn Magazine
Matthew Monagle
Viy serves as the prototypical horror film of the 1960s, one whose special effects and lowbrow exterior disguise its own considerably more nuanced agenda.
East Bay Express
Kelly Vance
Typical of Ptushko's work, it mixes gothic horror, from a short story by Nikolai Gogol, and grotesque animated effects in a proletarian automatic blender.
