jdt661944 I have no idea rate this movie... it's frames of reference are so foreign to me that it's impossible to judge this movie objectively. that be said i found the movie incredibly bizarre and creepy. if this is what Russian kids find funny and whimsical then the world is in bigger trouble then i thought. seriously words cannot describe this film. whether it was the simplistic dialog, the killer clown make up or freaky special effects i'm not sure but something is definitely off.make sure that you watch this movie during daylight hours. if you thought the exorcist was scary check out this movie... it will give you nightmares.

toporchillo It is a classic film for several generations of Russians. Legends and tales should not be transformed for modern world. You know nothing about Russian culture. So, Russian folk tales is to complicated for you. Some Americans live in trailers. It's a good idea, travel into your house. This idea is 1000-years old. Witch-cannibal lives in a house with chicken legs. Legs better then wheels, house can walk through forest. Forest wizard wear mushroom cap. Forest master in helm or crown instead is really ugly. I can explain everything, what you feel crazy.Laser swords, nuclear rifles, space corsairs - this is really madness.

Senych74 The point is that Russian (soviet) mentality was clean and strong, so we had no headache after watching this film. I just can't understand some comments. They are all Americans. It's why on every 100 Russian girls in any Russian town you can meet 40 or even 50 beautiful babes, meanwhile on 100 American girls only 10 or even 5 pretty. It's sad to talk about but the main factor in this difference between us is the soviet mentality - "no god no evil". Oh, God forgive me! You are the best. Look what a stupid cartoon movies produced in USA. Like Beavis and Butthead, or Simpsons. In imprison with Morozko 95 % of American movie industries for kids are producing the meaningless stupidest works. There is some good items, but they are exclusion. Have faith!

xhafan Guys, weighted average (imbd rating) is just one of statistical values. It usually tells you more about results than just 'average', but I consider 'mode' as the most informative statistical value. For Morozko, mode is 10 points! This could be a slight satisfaction for you :)Please note that we in Czech Republic used to hate Russian's products and thoughts just because it was Russians, our occupant during communism era. Nevertheless, people in my country really have liked this movie since 60s, and even my father borned in 1952 and had been living most of his productive age in opposition to Russia likes this movie and enjoys watching it even today, remembering this nice fairy tale from childhood.
