The Moscow Beasts

About This Movie

The Moscow Beasts delves into the eerie and unsettling, where Christina and her crew are on a quest to uncover the truth behind her sister Kira's mysterious death. The film has this heavy, oppressive atmosphere that lingers, almost suffocating at times. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build while layering in supernatural elements that aren't always what they seem. The practical effects do a decent job of delivering on the horror front, particularly with the child-like imposter, which adds a level of discomfort. Performances are raw, carrying the weight of grief and desperation. It’s the blend of familial conflict with dark folklore that gives it a unique edge. Not your average ghost story, that's for sure.

The Moscow Beasts is a bit of an obscure gem, with limited releases over the years, making it a rarity among collectors. It hasn’t seen a broad distribution, so finding physical copies can be a challenge. The film's unique blend of folklore and psychological tension creates a niche interest, drawing in those who appreciate lesser-known horror titles with a rich atmosphere.
