The experience of dealing with demons of the subconscious and the prospects of promoting the domestic horror

CHELYABINSK. The two-minute horror story of director Andrei Zagidullin breaks records in popularity on the network.

Infant and adolescent fears, displaced over time from the subconscious, are prone to materialization in the form of neuroses, poems and horror films. Filming the film “Morok” allowed the young director to work out children’s emotional injuries where everything happened. At the same time, to acquaint the public spoiled by western horror films with their domestic microformat version, without planning any PR actions and participation in contests. A paradoxical and understandable solution. Zagidullin is driven not by vanity, but by the desire to accustom the audience to high-quality domestic films. The director’s plans are to transform the laconic "Moroka" into a full meter.

Grandma’s house, which is also a family nest where several generations of the Zagidullins family spent their childhood, has retained the memory of not only the first steps, words and family holidays. He heard about visions caused by a brain tumor and tormenting the director’s aunt repeatedly from her for many years. The protective mechanisms of the children’s psyche are able to cope with such impressions. The creation of a film about the games of the subconscious is a control attempt to finally work them out. The trouble does not come to everyone. A very good reason is needed for its appearance. Wormhole, shock, emotional wound.

The role of the villager, who is driven crazy by an illusory chimera, was played by the director’s father - actor of the Chelyabinsk Youth Theater Rinat Zagidullin. The visual embodiment of the image of Morocco, in which the actor Andrei Malyshev starred, could be envied by Lord Voldemort himself, who could only frighten a baby.
