Quick Hit

Viy throws horror on screen with real nerve, but the finish is fully locked in. It sticks because the control is real.

Full Take

There’s a real hook here, but the follow-through decides the damage. It lives or dies on execution, not reputation, and that matters here. Once the mood is set, everything comes down to whether the film can cash in its own setup. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That’s why it lands at ELITE.
