Reviews
Although "Captured by the Ghosts" did not receive widespread international attention, it holds a niche appreciation for its haunting storytelling and atmospheric direction. On IMDb, it has a modest rating around 6.5/10, indicating mixed to positive reviews from viewers who appreciate its artistic and thematic depth, though some find it slow-paced. Professional critics from regional publications have praised Finogeeva's performance and the film’s evocative cinematography, noting its effectiveness in creating a chilling mood. However, others have noted that the movie’s abstract narrative and ambiguous elements may be challenging for mainstream audiences. Rotten Tomatoes does not have enough reviews to assign a score, reflecting the film’s limited global exposure. Overall, critics acknowledge that while the film may not cater to all tastes due to its introspective and atmospheric style, it remains a noteworthy example of 1980s Soviet cinema with a strong emotional core.
