Children's horror story or urban legend about the Queen of spades familiar to every compatriot. To build on its base a horror movie – a potentially winning try, it is strange that to Podrevskogo about it no one thought of. The film “Pikovaya” received mixed reviews. But the majority of critics agrees that a standard film project, which uses approved plot twists, canonically genre clichés. Spectrum of associations caused by viewing films, wide – “Mom” to “Women in black’.
Writer and Director Svyatoslav Podgaevsky, who truly loves and understands the genre, taking the film “Queen of spades" (as one the reviews confirm this fact), confidently skated “mandatory”. He managed to fulfill all the basic elements to be surprisingly competent, making boring cliches to work and not allowing the viewer to get bored. With the connectivity and dynamics of the narrative are all right. The appropriate dark music provides the alarm ringing Paul Ruminov, who has returned to the horror genre after a “Dead daughters”. Juicy picture among oppressive atmosphere – the merit of the operator Anton Zenkovich and his “depressed” camera. And the entourage of apartments domestic buildings when watching the film “Pikovaya” the reviews referred to the main feature, thanks to which you will not confuse the Russian horror with overseas counterparts.
Review and feedback on the film “Pikovaya” with great regret that the plot twists and turns of horror, hidden behind the stylish impressive picture, are not distinguished either by originality or novelty. Four different ages of adolescents are to conduct mystical rites call the Queen of spades. Directly by by getting twelve-year-old Anna (Alina Babak), after which the entire company becomes the object of pursuit for present themselves in our world of otherworldly beings. Defender of the children becomes the father of the protagonist and attracted by “expert”. “Pikovaya” horror reviews, which alone make that go on about secondary and illogical film.

Certainly it is worth noting that more than a successful hit almost the entire acting team in the stereotypes of the genre is a huge advantage painting “Pikovaya”. Reviews from critics about the skill involved actors mainly laudatory. The only exception was Eugene Vine, which, in the opinion of the fans, failed to feel the idea of horror and unleash the potential of your character. Especially notable and advantageous looked at the rest of Igor Khripunov, Alina Babak, and Vladimir Seleznev. Acting performance Alina terribly resembled Linda Blair in the “the Exorcist" Khripunov looked convincing in the way of the layman, faced with the supernatural for the first time. Well, Vladimir Seleznev embodies the collective image of the fighters against the undead from van Helsing to the old medium of "Astral plane".
The Domestic film industry, trying to get away from auteur cinema and begin to form a typical “spectator” industry is trying to work on the entertainment genres. Significant progress in this field has not been observed, but “Queen of spades" (reviews critics proof) is a significant step in this direction. The brainchild of Podrevskogo is a real “pop” the film mystical horror, which, though ever look at American horror movies, and collect their stamps, but has adequate working structure. And in the secondary and illogical to blame any modern horror movie.
The structure of the pattern consists of a conventional two heterogeneous parts. The first focuses on a group of teenagers, conducting black rites, and the appearance of the mechanic – divorced Anna's father, with a rather foggy past. After a successful call, the Teens try to understand what the vengeful spirit and how to get rid of it. At this time one of them dies a painful death, someone just thoroughly frightened. In this part, the Director exhibits strong high-quality work with the genre Toolkit. Then begins the second part where the “specialist” who knows much more than others. Immediately launched a series of "explanatory" of the dialogue, the action switches to the adult characters. The culmination was the act of exorcism, what is happening in the hospital and terribly reminiscent of the “possession”.
Judging by the fact that films on Pushkin's "Queen of spades” shot back at the dawn of the emergence of cinema in Russia, this work is very popular among people in the arts. And remove easily – don't need bulky sets, no battle scenes, but plenty of drama.
