I have always been interested in thought-provoking and unpredictable stories about closed communities where people from ordinary cities get and where they're changed forever. As an example, I can name "Solstice" and "The Wicker Man". Now I want to write about the film "Omut" which, in my opinion, is not inferior to the best representatives of the horror genre with ethnic motives.

The plot centers on a woman named Lyuba, whose husband Sergei constantly humiliates, beats and insults her. The woman is sick and tired of her husband's behavior and she decides to leave him. This is the point where really interesting things start to happen both intriguing and frightening.

The fact is that Lyuba and her friends travel to a separate island, where there is a small but very colorful community. Local residents live according to old rituals and are able to summon spirits of other worlds. And they are the ones who should give Lyuba confidence and change her attitude towards life.

The interesting thing here is that you don't fully know whether there is mysticism in this story, or whether it's more of a thriller. The authors play riddles with us, which are very interesting to solve, and the closer the ending is, the more the tension increases.

The film is definitely worth watching for fans of the genre and those who like to solve intricate mysteries.

The further we move from civilization, the more dangerous and unpredictable our world becomes. Many people live outside cities and towns in communities that are subject to their own laws. They refuse the benefits of civilization, finding peace in the faith and covenants of old times. And you may wonder why would an ordinary person who has whatever he or she need come here? The answers can be found in the film "Omut".

The main character of the film is Lyuba, an ill-fated young woman whose husband constantly scorns her. Tired of enduring this, Lyuba comes to her friends and they, in turn, decide to accompany her to a remote village, to people who perform ancient mystical rituals and thereby help those who have lost faith in life. And Lyuba is one of those who crucially require the help of the community.

The rituals that local shamans perform with Lyuba open her entire soul and show what demons are hidden deeply in her. And now it's of great importance for Lyuba to accept what is inside her in order to move on. But it will not be easy, because it is difficult to find a greater enemy for a person than herself.
