VIY, SPIRIT OF EVIL (1967) directed by Konstantin Ershov, Georgiy Kropachyov
A young priest is ordered to preside over the wake of witch in a small old wooden church of a remote village. This means spending three nights alone with the corpse with only his faith to protect him.
Eugene Coyne
Critically acclaimed South London-based singer-songwriter Eugene Coyne performs acoustic versions of songs from albums such as Castle of Blood, Servants of the Sorcerer, Castle Coyne and his forthcoming album, Counterstrike. A beguiling mix of acid folk, off-kilter rock ’n’ roll and barking pug rock, it’s a witchy brew that will help to set the scene for Viy and its enchanted landscape - a place where magic is real, and laughter and terror are just a black cat’s whisker apart.
