DEAD DAUGHTERS

MERTVIE docheri

Director Pavel Ruminov / 2006 / Russia

<p><strong>"More arthouse than grindhouse... spiced with a mordant sense of humor." - <em>Twitch</em></strong></p>

<p>Filmmaker Pavel Ruminov's first feature ushers in a new age in contemporary Russian horror films. His constantly moving camera prowls a dank and barren Moscow, the perfect backdrop for this spooky-as-hell ghost story.<br />Three young women, murdered by their mother, return from the dead to take revenge. Anyone who comes in contact with these spirits and commits a sin within three days will suffer their wrath. With this in mind, five Muscovites attempt to remain without sin - though sometimes the greatest sin is inaction. <br />Clearly inspired by the J-horror genre, <em>Dead Daughters</em> has secured a huge fan contingent worldwide and is already pegged for an American remake.<br />
