Gogol. A Terrible Vengeance is a Russian suspense and horror film released in 2018. It is based on the works of Nikolai Gogol, a famous Ukrainian-born Russian writer known for his dark and satirical stories.
The movie follows the detective Yakov Petrovich Guro (played by Alexander Petrov) as he investigates a series of mysterious murders in a small town in 19th century Russia. The victims are young women who are found dead with their hearts ripped out. The local people believe that an evil spirit, the Dark Horseman, is responsible for the killings.
Guro is a rational and skeptical man who does not believe in supernatural powers. However, things change when he meets the famous writer Nikolai Gogol (played by Alexander Tsyoma) who has his own theories about the murders. According to Gogol, the Dark Horseman is a real entity that he wrote about in his stories, and it has possessed a host in the town. Guro initially dismisses Gogol's claims as delusional, but as he delves deeper into the case, he realizes that there may be some truth in Gogol's words.
As the investigation progresses, Guro encounters a number of suspicious characters, including the wealthy landowner Bomgart (played by Oleg Menshikov), who has a history of mental illness, and the enigmatic and seductive young woman Elizaveta (played by Evgeniya Stychkin), who seems to have a connection with the Dark Horseman.
The film is full of suspenseful scenes, eerie moments, and unexpected plot twists. It combines elements of horror, mystery, and drama to create a unique and captivating story. The performances of the cast are excellent, especially Alexander Tsyoma who portrays Gogol as a tormented and complex character.
Overall, Gogol. A Terrible Vengeance is an engrossing and atmospheric film that will appeal to fans of psychological thrillers and supernatural tales.
