I don't like horror movies. Frankly, I don't watch them at all. But this one is an exception. I got fascinated by Riana from a random youtube recommendation and learned that she made a movie. It was extremely hard to find it and I had to translate it personally to make sense of what people say.

I made translation into English, Ukrainian and Russian.

After all, all this huge efforts where worth it. It's not like your average dumb horror movie with jump scares on every corner. Albeit it has a few jump scares, but it's very mild and not often encountered. This movie is more focused on telling the story, than scaring you. That's why I called it fantasy with horror elements. The story is pretty simple, but it's actually very engaging and keeps you wondering what will happen next. Film has very cool atmosphere and great shooting location (old European style manor).

All the actors did a great job, especially kid actors. But the jewel of this film is definitely The Sacred Riana. She was so engaged with her character, that she behaved in a same way even when cameras where not rolling! Other actors found this behavior very strange and a bit creepy, so this added much authenticity to their acting too. She plays the role of asocial, quiet and awkward girl perfectly, it even feels like she is not acting at all, and that's her real self!

It's a shame that this film will probably never come out on DVD\BD with proper translation and people would never see this gem! So I'm happy to share the results of my hard work. You can download it from

my google drive

I'm sorry for bad quality and Malayan hardsub, but it was only one source I could get this movie from and it was super hard to find. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did!
