kosmasp Or is it "My bloody Russian-tine"? Any which way, this tries to mix horror and action into one movie. And while it is very familiar (to anyone who has watched a slasher movie before), it is done decent enough. Not good mind you, but not bad either. The characters are exchangeable (but then again, what slasher movie has great characters in them? Exactly!) and the death scenes are not overly inventively (not in my book anyway).What stays is a nice setting/atmosphere and an extra point for trying. Russian movies that are successful outside their homeland were mostly movies that are thoughtful (Solaris et al). Recently of course there was some Fantasy (Nochnoy Dozor aka Night Watch for example) and here we have a slasher. Nice for a try, but nothing to get too excited about.

Jan Strydom When I picked up TRACKMAN in my latest online order of DVD's and checked out the cover art, I thought it was going to be one of those cheap annoying and unoriginal slashers, well when I started watching it it didn't look cheap at all it was actually nicely shot and it wasn't the usual annoying teen slasher flick, it actually featured a band of bank robbers who successfully pull off a bank job and take hostages and are looking to make their escape by going through an abandoned metro tunnel, but soon they realize they're not alone in the tunnels.As soon as we are introduced to our killer hiding in the tunnels, the immediate reaction would be that this guy was photo copied right out of MY BLOODY VALENTINE and the plot or at least from the part where the robbers and hostages go into the tunnels, is like it was taken from a 70's horror movie called RAW MEAT or a latter day horror film called CREEP, to top it all off this film never builds any kind of tension or doesn't really scare you or keeps you on the edge of your seat, its only redeeming factor is the cinematography, this film is beautifully shot, the film makers certainly weren't lazy in attempting to create atmosphere.Although this film is very well made at the end of the day after watching this film its a question of, seen this, done that and bought the T-shirt, as it doesn't really offer anything we haven't seen before

mladen_gb A splendid movie, in which a couple of Russians end up in a abandoned subway system beneath the streets of Moscow. Before you know it, a freak (mentally and physically challenged one) is poking their eyeballs out with an eyeball.... poking....thingy... Even though they're all armed to the teeth, almost all of them, somehow managed to die. In the end Grom(some Russian fellow) and Katja(Some Russian bimbo) Surprisingly managed to kill the mentally and physically challenged freak and escape on a motor bike. A THRILLING conclusion to a great, twisted, filled with metaphor and eyeballs masterpiece of a movie. A MUST SEE!(if you happen to have an unpoked set of eyes) P.S. I think it would have been a tiny bit better if the guy shoved the eyeballs in his rectum while making the following sound: "Hargh!" Thank you and good night. Sincerely,The eyeball

Mathieu Doublet Well, our robbers had a fine plan escaping the bank except for the killer being in the abandoned metro system. Now they have to survive, managing 2 hostages, 1 cop and maybe treachery inside the team.It was not as bad as I thought. Clearly, Igor Shavlak has a good team to work with and the movie has a peculiar feeling (image and sound speaking). It's a technical demo explaining that Russian directors can do as well as American ones.Too bad they forgot something to make the story interesting. Despite its short playtime (1 h 20 min), there is no really anything going on. The killer is not inventive and not manipulative (though the place suggested a nice "cat & mice" game) enough. The movie has a really good scene at the end when the last two survivors are followed by the killer and finally interact. It should have been this all along the movie to be really enjoyable.If "old nightmares have a new face" as it is written on the poster, it sure reminds other movies: Silent Hill, Jeepers Creepers, Descent. Not a bad basis to work on but as I said before it lacks the originality.With a good plot though, I'm sure that Scavlak and his team can make a fine movie to watch.
