The Initiated

The film follows Volodya, who lives with his mother in an apartment on the outskirts of St. Petersburg. His life changes when he discovers a pre-revolutionary book on African magic rituals. As he reads, Volodya realizes he possesses a supernatural gift that allows him to kill people by his own will.

With its blend of mystic themes and phantasmagoria, The Initiated presents a unique take on the mystery genre. The film's neogothic parable elements add depth to its narrative, making it a distinctive piece from the early 1990s. This film could attract collectors seeking titles that explore the darker aspects of human nature and supernatural abilities.
