Russia 1967

neat adaptation of a Russian folk legend. This film was taken from a version of the story written by Nikolai Gogol.  A seminary student is forced by a community to spend three nights locked in a church praying for a recently murdered lass. She's actually a witch seeking revenge and he was her killer.

The special effects are primitive by today's standards but this is still a lot of fun to watch.
