User review:

Svyatoslav Podgaevskiy is a proper director, his films are a mix between good points and bad points. “Yaga. Koshmar tyomnogo lesa” is good, folk horror with a great cinematography and an interesting script, the performances are fine and the film locations are creepy. A horror fairy tale! This movie is Podgaevskiy’s best flick so far, he could be a great horror director in the future.
