A story of two brothers who leave rural Polesiya to seek a better life in Kyiv. One of them quickly finds himself atop the wheel of fortune and the other -- at its bottom. The first brother dies mysteriously and the second brother attempts to take over his work, but in the process begins to lose his humanity, slowly transforming into an undead monster. Based on a story by Vladimir Drozd, "Amulet" is a rare example of horror cinema in the history of Ukrainian film.

Part double tale, part weird werewolf allegory. I can’t fully parse everything but it’s definitely interesting and strange. Lot of cool visuals. Creepy dead brother is very effective.
