'A Ukrainian witch kicks the crap out of Russian soldiers': the new wave of horror films taking on Putin's army

I'm not sure if I'd say Ukraine is totally ready to be known as the horror movie capital just yet lol 🤣. Don't get me wrong, Iryna Kostyuk's doing some awesome stuff over here, but we need to see more than just a couple of hits before we can say "Ukraine: where horror movies come to life" 💀. Plus, let's be real, the fact that audiences are searching for escapism now because of war is kinda a bummer 🤕. Can't we just focus on making some great stories without having to deal with all this drama? 🤔.
 
🎃️ I think Kostyuk is like a master chef 🍴 in the kitchen of Ukrainian cinema, whipping up these dark fantasy films that have audiences screaming for more 🤣! Her productions might be inspired by Soviet-era experiments and Russian soldiers, but she's turning those dark memories into something beautiful and escapist – not about revenge, but about survival 💪. I love how her films blend horror and humor 😂, it's like a rollercoaster ride of emotions that leaves you breathless! The fact that she can deliver a zombie movie while dealing with air raids is just amazing 🌪️. She's proof that even in the darkest times, art can thrive 🎨. Here's a quick ASCII art of Kostyuk's film universe:

OMG 🤯 just watched Mavka: The True Myth and I'm HOOKED!!! Iryna Kostyuk is like a QUEEN of Ukrainian horror movies 🎃👑 her way with blending dark humor and mythology is SO on point 🔥 can't wait for more Heroines of the Dark Times series, this one has me GAGGING 💀 what's next tho?! 😂
 
🎃👻 I'm low-key obsessed with Iryna Kostyuk's horror movies right now! She's like the ultimate Ukrainian cinematic queen 🤴♀️ - her films are giving me all the feels, you know? The way she weaves together mythology and dark humor is pure magic ✨. And can we talk about how she's still producing under wartime conditions? That's some next-level dedication 💥. I love that her movies are reflecting Ukraine's changing public mood - from revenge to escapism 🔄. It's like, the more things change, the more Kostyuk's films stay relevant 🔁. And honestly, Mavka: The True Myth is giving me LIFE 🎬👻 - zombie movies just got a whole lot more interesting 😈.
