The Ice Demon
Ледяной демон
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.
Why it matters
A chilling plunge into familial dread and supernatural horror where homecomings turn deadly cold.
- Russian folk horror vibes meet claustrophobic domestic thriller in a frozen, isolated setting.
- Practical effects and icy atmosphere amplify the creeping dread of something inhuman beneath the surface.
- For fans of slow-burn hauntings and demonic folklore tangled with family trauma—think a frostbitten The Babadook.
- Uneven pacing may test patience, but the unsettling mood and icy visuals linger long after the credits roll.
