Early 18th century. Cartographer Jonathan Green undertakes a scientific voyage from Europe to the East. Having passed through Transylvania and crossed the Carpathian Mountains, he finds himself in a small village lost in impassible woods. Nothing but chance and heavy fog could bring him to this cursed place. People who live here do not resemble any other people which the traveler saw before that. The villagers, having dug a deep moat to fend themselves from the rest of the world, share a naive belief that they could save themselves from evil, failing to understand that evil has made its nest in their souls and is waiting for an opportunity to gush out upon the world.

If you're unable to find this title to rent or buy, besides the title, "Forbidden Kingdom," shown here, this movie may also be found under the titles, "Forbidden Empire," and, "Viy," though the latter title will most likely be in Russian. Enjoy!

Mix a Hammer horror with a little bit of Terry Gilliam and you get this film. Despite the English dubbing its not a bad fantasy, with decent special effects and an atmospheric setting.

This movie is probably quite unknown by most people. I certainly had never heard of it when I stumbled on it. It is a quite entertaining little fantasy / supernatural / crime movie though. I am actually not sure what to classify at as. It starts of as a fantasy movie but is it really?
