“The chill of evil comes home”
Directed by Ivan Kapitonov
The premise
Ksyusha barely remembers her father: he went missing when she was a child. Incredibly, he is showing signs of life, despite being in a coma. The man is returned home in this condition. His wife has now remarried. The family is thrown into disarray by the return of the former master of the house – terrifying things are happening in the house, and Ksyusha’s mom starts acting weird… Ksyusha begins to suspect that something supernatural, icy, and lifeless has come home with her father. And now Ksyusha and her stepfather are about to find themselves protecting their family from a demon.
Horror Vault's take
When Ksyusha's long-lost father returns home in a coma after years of mysterious disappearance, his presence brings more than grief and disruption to the household — something cold and malevolent seems to have arrived with him. As strange and terrifying events begin to plague the family, Ksyusha grows convinced that whatever came through the door is not entirely her father. A Russian supernatural horror built on fractured family dynamics and creeping dread, The Ice Demon draws its chill from both emotional wounds and something far darker lurking beneath the surface.
