While I will admit the ending of this movie wasn't enough to truly scare me in the way that other horror films do today, the climax brought a smile to my face. This isn't a movie I'd recommend to people that aren't genuine cinephiles, because I honestly think most audiences would find this movie a little anticlimactic. For me, however, this was a look back at film history, to a time when horror films seldom came from the Soviet Union. If you're a cinephile, you owe it to yourself to see this movie, not just because it's entertaining, but also because of its significance.
