Elvis D El cine de terror ruso no es algo muy conocido, pero esta nueva interpretación de la legendaria Baba Yaga presenta algo centrado en el lado oscuro de los antiguos folclores. La película tiene un cierto parentesco con la obra de Stephen King "Eso". Es una historia de 3 niños que acaban uniendo fuerzas para enfrentar a una entidad antigua. Es una historia de miedo con momentos tensos que son suaves al principio y aumentan un poco y se incluyen algunos pocos elementos dramáticos. La historia en sí es buena, aunque hay algunas cosas que quedaron fuera o faltaban profundizar. En cuanto a la producción y los detalles técnicos, es una película muy bien elaborada con una buena ambientación. El guion puede ser cuestionable, pero intenta ofrecer una historia digna de una novela y una extensión de la historia hubiera aportado bastante, ya que la trama tiene potencial. La leyenda de Baba Yaga ha variado bastante con el paso de los siglos y aquí la presentan como una antigua entidad que busca regresar al mundo de los vivos, pero la película conserva algunas características de este ser. De cierta manera, la película logra reflejar ese lado siniestro y oscuro que hace la leyenda de Baba Yaga tan aterradora. Así que esta película logra ofrecer una historia de terror fantástica y eso es algo positivo viendo de un director que ha logrado hacer que el cine de terror ruso tenga más notoriedad. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 9/10. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/02/23 Full Review courtenay m I walked out before the end… Was it some crackheads dream after all? 🤔🤔 Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member beautiful, this film also has brilliant and interesting ideas but the acting ability of the actors leaves much to be desired. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member it have a good start the atmosphere work just fine at first, but to the end of the movie is just meh a really example of wasted potetntial Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Everything you can see in Baba Yaga is kind of "seen already, and in that other movie worked better". If you're into stories about messed up teenagers who can't tell reality from their nightmarish fears, including the fact that their parents could not care the less if they live or die, you would be better off watching "The Wretched" (which provides a more coherent storyline and better acting), "Slender man" which provides much better looking actresses and a scarier monster (whereas this movie totally lacks in both departments) or track back to any installment of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" - the movie that Started This All Genre. "Baba Yaga" provides no additional content. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member It's very funny, like a Jumanji and Babadook mashed'up, ok, is not perfect, five minuts of terrible CGI, the final is a little bit absurd...but the movie is very original in some parts...approved! ;) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
