Telekinez

About This Movie

So, there's this film called Telekinez, and it's a real curiosity from the Soviet era. It dives into the whole notion of exorcism, but from the perspective of an atheistic family, which really adds a unique tension. The atmosphere is thick—you can feel the weight of the Cold War influence, and the pacing has this creeping dread that builds effectively. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, possess a certain charm that complements the eerie vibe. Performances are quite compelling, capturing that sense of fear and skepticism beautifully. It’s definitely something that sticks with you after watching, and the themes of belief versus science are intriguing to dissect.

Telekinez is relatively obscure, and it hasn't received much exposure in terms of home media releases, making it a bit of a rarity for collectors. There’s a certain mystique around it, with few known prints in circulation, which adds to its allure. It's worth tracking down for those interested in Soviet cinema or horror with a philosophical edge, though be prepared for the challenge of finding a good copy.
