On the wish-list of most horror-fantasy fans for years, VIY finally makes its U.S. appearance here.  Based on a short story by Nikolai Gogol, VIY tells the story of a bumbling, novice priest (Leonid Kuravlyov) who angers a demonic old hag; to take her revenge, the witch disguises herself as the beautiful corpse of a young woman, whose last wish is to have the priest pray over her for three nights. Once trapped inside the village church, the priest encounters an astoundingly grotesque parade of gargoyles and demons, literally erupting from the walls - and the gorgeous witch herself, whirling around the church in a flying coffin!
