This wasn't what I expected. For a midnight feature set in gritty Eastern Europe, I want to see dirt, grime, and a healthy application of violence. I got those things, but they were intertwined with a tale of desperation and loss and betrayal. There was much more narrative, and much less action, than I prefer. I forgot how depressing films from this region can be. The Soviet era still hangs over the satellite countries' cultures like a plague. Maybe they can't yet move on. But I'm ready to.
