    Yes! It's lovely. Caught it theatrically just before its US DVD release. Picked up quite a few very enjoyable Russian fairy tale movies as a result.

        Well, the problem is that the other ones aren't horror movies. If that doesn't frighten you off, I really enjoyed KINGDOM OF CROOKED MIRRORS and FATHER FROST. Actually, pretty much anything from this guy is good. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0745498/reference

          I'd also recommend THE SNOW QUEEN and THE SAVAGE HUNT OF KING STACH.

            I borrowed it from my old editor 10 years back. Quite liked it.

            I would actually like to re-watch it, do any of you know which DVD one should go for? I guess all the transfers come from RuSciCo, and I seem to remember they had some problems with PAL-NTSC transfers in the early DVDs.

              I ordered mine from amazon and when it arrived it was the German edition, but all the numerous language and subtitle options are intact. I think they are all the same edition.
