Story
Sveto mesto (A Holy Place) is an adaptation of Nikolai Gogol's short story 'Viy', with a unique twist. The film begins with Catherine, a young woman, dying under mysterious circumstances while transformed into a witch. Her father, a stern and unpleasant man, remains unaware of her death. The narrative then shifts to Toma, a theology student who is tasked by the villagers to read the Psalms over Catherine's corpse for three nights straight in order to prevent supernatural forces from harming him. Throughout these nights, Toma faces terrifying encounters with these forces that attempt to break through the holy circle drawn on the church floor.
Summary
Sveto mesto (A Holy Place, 1990), directed by Djordje Kadijevic, is a unique blend of drama and horror that uses Nikolai Gogol's 'Viy' as its foundation. However, Kadijevic deviates significantly from the original story, focusing instead on exploring the darker side of eroticism and introducing elements of Anglo-American gothic style horror. The film centers around the incestuous relationship between Catherine and her father, adding a layer of perversity not present in Gogol's original tale. Despite its deviations, Sveto mesto maintains the core premise of 'Viy', making it a compelling exploration of supernatural forces, religious themes, and psychological horror.
