I don’t expect anything from modern Russian horror because I never get anything, The Widow in that sense is an exception, I thought it was a decent spin on The Blair Witch Project. Scary forests work on me better than probably any other horror setting, so if you give a group of actors a camera and let them wander in the woods at night, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll get a friendly rating. That said, the characters and the story are not worth talking about and the climax fizzles out without any proper escalation. Oh the other hand, kudos to the creators for not screwing up the atmosphere with the awful digital effects Russians tend to prefer. Overall, it’s nothing to write home about, but to me it’s more enjoyable and better horror than any of the films by Svjatoslav Podgajevskij.
