The Widow2020
“An urban legend. A terrifying truth.”
Directed by Ivan Minin
The premise
Based on real events. In a densely forested area north of St. Petersburg people have been going missing for three decades. The few corpses ever found were naked. On October 14, 2017 a team of volunteers went out into the woods in search of a missing teenager. Soon, all communication with them was lost. Locals believe they were taken by the same dark spirit that took the others. They call it the Limping Widow.
Horror Vault's take
Deep in the forests north of St. Petersburg, a dark legend has swallowed people whole for thirty years — and the few remains ever recovered hint at something deeply wrong. When a volunteer search party ventures into the woods to find a missing teenager in October 2017, contact with the outside world abruptly vanishes. Locals have a name for whatever lurks among the trees: the Limping Widow. Claiming inspiration from real events, this Russian folk-horror entry leans on regional mythology to deliver creeping dread in an unforgiving wilderness.
