Your phone dies, your family sucks, and Baba Yaga just checked into the room next door.

Practical Effects
Creature designs blending folk horror with absurd domesticity

Biting satire of wellness culture meeting Russian fatalism
Director
Alexander Babaev
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Babaev weaponizes specifically post-Soviet wellness tourism, where 'authentic rural experience' packages commodify the very folklore now literally hunting these families.
The Murom region choice is deliberate — it's the epicenter of Russian byliny epic tradition, making the family's ignorance of their surroundings a meta-commentary on cultural amnesia.
