Unusual Russian hitman thriller The Ghost (aka Domovoy) is one that received a lot of attention in these pages leading up to its Russian release. Night Watch and Wanted star Konstantin Khabensky stars as a washed out crime novelist who sees a chance to rebuild his life and career when a real life hitman offers to tutor him, to show him how things really work. He jumps at the chance without thinking through the consequences and things - of course - go horribly wrong.
The Russian trailers for the film have gone at this point but the the film about to release on VOD December 30th via IFC's Festival on Demand label, there is a new English language trailer available. You'll find it below.

I've seen the movie and it's pretty good. It's interesting and has original scenario, not like usual hitman stories or copy of western movies as they usually do in Russia. By genre it's more like hitman thriller and drama. The writer got hired by actual killer who likes his books, and then writer finds out that the killer wants to replace him in his life.
