Dark Spell

"Dark Spell" (2021) is a Russian horror film directed by Svyatoslav Podgaevsky that you can watch online on iFILM, starring Yana Enzhaeva and Konstantin Beloshapka.

Zhenya can't accept it when the man she loves walks out. A Roma woman tells her about the black wedding — an ancient binding ritual. She goes through with it. Kirill comes back. For a time, everything feels better than it ever did before. Then the nights start changing him.

Podgaevsky builds the dread slowly and deliberately, and the film's sharpest idea is that the real horror isn't what the ritual summons — it's what obsessive love looks like when it finally gets what it wanted. Stream "Dark Spell" (2021) online on iFILM.
