Poland Gets Gruesome With PORA MROKU ** Updated With Synopsis and Stills **

Posted by Todd Brown at 3:06pm.

Posted in Trailer Alerts , Horror, Continental Europe & Russia.

Could this be the beginning of a genre wave in Eastern Europe?  Poland has a long, long cinematic history but the nation is known almost exclusively for its art film and for good reason - the nation has produced a handful of true masters.  But there’s also hunger for more in the region.  The country launched its first horror film festival this past year, a fest that played to absolutely jammed houses, so there is definitely interest in harder edged fare.  And now here comes Pora Mroku, a film that - like recent genre offerings in Scandinavia - proves that the new generation has learned a thing or two about how to shoot film from their artistic forebears but also want to make things bloody.  In other words, this thing looks absolutely beautiful while also being very, very harsh.

A dark and scary movie with dramatic effects. Four friends come to old and abandoned factory in Nether Silesia where a year ago a friend died. So they try find out how and why he died but in the end they found an horrific truth about experiments conducted in the factory. A group of research workers kidnap them and use them as human guinea-pigs in an effort to attain immortality for an mysterious employer.

Pora Mroku hits Polish screens April 18th.  You’ll find the trailer embedded in the Twitch Video Player below the break.

    Polish isn’t the easiest of languages to translate into English but I cracked the whip and got my better half to take a look (she is after all Polish).

    But here is what we came up with… not much to go on but this is what was on the page linked to in the original post.

    “A dark and scary movie with dramatic effects. Four friends come to old and abandoned factory in Nether Silesia where a year ago a friend died. So they try find out how and why he died but in the end they found an horrific truth about experiment conducted in the factory. A group of research workers kidnap them and use them as human guinea-pigs in an effort to attain immortality for an mysterious employer.”

    ... or something like that.

    Hope this helps. smile

    My translation is slightly different, so I put it here:

    “Full of dark atmosphere and undiminished tension horror movie about macabric effects of dreams about immortality. Four friends come to the area of old abandoned factory in Nether Silesia, where a year ago died their dissappeared. Trying ti solve the mystery of his disappearence they find out the horrific truth about experiments which are taking place in factory. A group of researches use as guine pigs kidnapped people, try to gain immortality to mysterious employer”

    And greetings from Poland.

    Hmmm, the end of second sentence should be: “where a year ago their friend disappeared”. Sorry.
