Sveto Mesto (1990) - with english subtitles

Director:
Djordje Kadijevic

Evo još jednog domaćeg horora koji je prikazan u Montrealu u okviru Subversive Serbia programa na Fantasia festivalu. Radi se naravno o masterpisu Djordja Kadijevića koga ponajbolje znamo po genijalnom debitantskom ostvarenju Praznik iz '67, i naravno okultnoj Leptirici iz '72, prvom srpskom horor filmu. Inače, Sveto Mesto slovi i za najbolji Kadijevićev rad, i mnogi će vam to potvrditi, mada je meni Praznik ipak nekako bliži, može biti baš zbog tematike, no prosudite sami. Rivju by Dejan Ognjanović ovde. (90 min)

IMDB

"Sveto mesto (A Holy Place, 1990) is based on a literary classic, Nikolai Gogol's 1835 short story, 'Viy'. However, Kadijevic uses it only as a starting point for his own explorations into the dark side of eroticism. Gogol's story deals with Toma, a reluctant theology student who is forced to read the Psalms over an (un)dead girl for three nights in a row. All the while supernatural forces are trying to grab him from the Holy Circle drawn on the church floor. Kadijevic adapts and enriches 'Viy' by inventing a new backstory for the witch-girl and her father. The dead girl, Catherine (unwittingly killed in the prologue, while in the shape of a hag), is referred to as a 'saint' and her father is a harsh and unpleasant man. Kadijevic departs further from the original story, and introduces an excess of perversity and horror more reminiscent of the Anglo-American gothic than the milder Slavic attempts in a similar mode. Incest is the name of the game here."
