Leave it to Russia to drop a cold, tense sci-fi/horror hybrid that’s chilly and austere while also being all kinds of gooey and gross. Such is the way of Egor Abramenko’s Sputnik, a creeping dread creature feature and tale of institutional bureaucratic terror that regularly, and in clever fashion, pulls the rug out from under the viewer. All with unsettling monster effects peppered throughout.
Tension, intrigue, space creatures? Sign us up! This trailer for Russian sci-fi horror (or horror sci-fi, we’re open to either), Sputnik, has all of that and more. Check out the trailer and a new poster unveiled by IFC Midnight ahead of the upcoming North American release. (Just a head’s up, I’ve heard it might be spoiler-y. Just FYI.)
Who knew that Russia would be helping to keep us sane with killer genre fare as we’re all hiding away from one another in quarantine? This week, the insane actioner Why Don’t You Just Die! lands on VOD, and if you’re more in the mood for a bit of sci-fi horror, they’ve also got you covered with this new trailer for Sputnik. Looks like something we want in our lives ASAP.
