The premise
The tale unfolds around an ancient witch from the Ukrainian town of Konotop, who long ago abandoned her extraordinary powers after falling in love with a mortal man. However, tragedy strikes when her beloved is brutally murdered by the russian soldiers as they occupy Konotop in February 2022. Fueled by grief and a thirst for revenge, she reclaims her supernatural abilities, embarking on a blood-soaked quest to mete out justice to her fiancé's killers.
Horror Vault's take
Set against the brutal backdrop of the 2022 Russian occupation of Konotop, Ukraine, this folk-horror revenge tale follows an ancient witch who had long buried her powers for the sake of love — until unspeakable violence forces her to dig them back up. What follows is a blood-soaked reckoning as she channels centuries of supernatural fury against those who destroyed everything she held dear. Rooted in Ukrainian folklore and contemporary tragedy, the film fuses war drama with dark fantasy in a way that feels both mythic and urgently modern.
