Hokum: A Balance of Cheapness and Luxury
Hokum is an enjoyable horror film that will probably get a little under your skin, but it isn’t the tour de force that you might be expecting.
Привет, медведь!
Nine-year-old Misha and his thirteen-year-old sister, Alisa, find themselves in the middle of a family turmoil: Mom dreams of the Maldives, Dad dreams of the Alps, and compromise seems impossible. In the midst of their parental squabble, Misha receives a link to a game from an unknown sender. One click, and the world freezes: a frozen coffee cup, motionless trees outside the window, frozen passersby and birds. The game dictates its own rules: to break the spell on reality, Misha and Alisa must travel across Russia. By collecting photographs of mysterious artifacts against the backdrop of famous landmarks and solving riddles, they will be able to complete all the game's levels and bring the world back to life.
