Entertainment from dear old mother Russia, today, spylings, as I have a number of their 2018 fantasy movies to present you with! First up, a rather nasty and dark trailer for THE SCYTHIAN! These are times when one civilization is replacing another. A new era is about to begin in Central Eurasia. Scythians, the proud warriors, are all but gone. The few of their descendants have become ruthless mercenary assassins, the "waves of Ares"! Lutobor is a soldier with a difficult task at hand. He becomes involved in internecine conflicts and sets off on a perilous journey to save his family. His guide is a captive Scythian by the name of Weasel. Lutobor and

The Scythian is also known as The Last Warrior

Weasel are enemies. They pray to different gods but must embark on this journey together. They brave the wild steppes, moving toward the last haven of the Scythians, to what seems to be their inevitable demise.

The spy has informed you about  Russian fantasy movie "Gogol: The Beginning'' last year and now here is its sequel GOGOL, VIY.

villagers claiming the killer is a dark horseman. Gogol is ordered to investigate the murder cases, instead of going there to solve it, he's beginning to suffer macabre visions more and more during his investi- gation, then he suddenly learns the next victim would be his girlfriend, Liza. But he doubts his ability could stop what's going to happen. He then accidentally meets a witch hunter, Khoma Brut, and together they ask witch Ulyana to summon the evil spirit Viy to help them stop the coming murder.
