Waste of time
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Contemporary horror story harking back to the times when Moscow was ravaged by the plague and thousands of persons died. It all starts in the 18th century, when a thief who stole an envelope that he did not deliver is accused of being the cause of the disease and about to be burnt alive. Cut to the present and it is a young chauffeur's turn to deliver an envelope under similar circunstances. It is a story about messengers, appointments with death, guilt, innocence, redemption and vanity with all the usual clichés of international horror cinema, which would had benefited from some spices of Russian culture to make it different and probably more fascinating. Entertaining and more intriguing than scary, but lacking any special distinction.
Konvert is a must watch for every horror fan out there. It has a refreshing story, and that's hard to find with new releases. The lead character is very well played and there are some scary scenes which I enjoyed a lot. I'm not giving it 8 because I thought it was a little bit slow sometimes but it's worth watching it!Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did!
I watched that movie. So, Russia can to horror movies! Interesting story about the envelope. Lead character is interesting person. Picture and cinematography are very colourise. Good atmosphere, whose good open really thrue about Russia and Moscow. Cemetery was real. Houses was real. Maybe, the story was real. I watched and almost believed in this.
