I watch a lot of trailers for upcoming horror films. Some blow me away and others are completely forgettable. The upcoming Russian horror film III took my breath away. It’s stylish, creepy, haunting, and beautiful. III is directed by Pavel Khvaleev, is written by Aleksandra Khvaleeva, Oleg Mustafin, and Evgeniya Mustafina, and stars Polina Davydova, Lyubov Ignatushko, and Evgeniy Gagarin. Not exactly a group of household names but if the film is even a quarter as good as the trailer, we’ll be seeing these names on tshirts!! Check out the plot crunch:

A small European town, where sisters Ayia and Mirra live, gets struck down by an unknown disease which takes many lives. Following their mother’s death, the younger sister falls ill. Having realized that conventional medicine is useless in the face of the sister’s disease, Ayia seeks help from Father Herman, a parish priest and a close family friend. In his house she finds books that are very far from the conventional religion. She gets to know that only penetration into Mirra’s sick subconscious mind and discovery of the true cause of her disease will give her a chance to save her sister. Ayia is ready to go through this terrifying ritual, dive into the depths of the subconscious mind, and face the demons residing there. But will she cope with her own fear when she discovers the mysteries of her sister’s past? Since the closer to the bottom of the ocean, the darker it gets.

No date yet is set for a North American release but III is getting a lot of positive buzz. I don’t think it’ll be too long!! Check out the trailer:
