A young woman falls into the other world, where he meets with his past - dead mother and her fiance committed suicide...

Review

Family, consisting of his wife, a man and his daughter, as I understood, from his first marriage, is riding through the woods, and the woods near the railroad they stall the engine. Husband goes in search of someone to help get at least to the nearest settlement. Nearing evening. Soon the girl to go to sleep, and the main character decides not to wait for her husband, and to go with a girl in search of lodging.


So they came to the abandoned orphanage. I must say, it looks very scary: the most memorable dilapidated statue of a pioneer. Women and girls are afraid of a black dog, they run up in and find out that the only inhabitants of the former asylum - dead mother and fiance of the heroine, and the weird dumb, played only known to me in this film the actor - Ivan Agapov ("All mixed up in the house" , "Truckers").

Director of the film - the debutant at the time, years later shot a great psychological thriller "Snake Spring" and "Fan" - Nikolai Lebedev. On them, as on "overnight ...", it is clear that Lebedev is able to shoot horror. I must say, not without blunders - already called strange act of the protagonist in the beginning of the movie, and then it says the dead fiance of her husband: "He hates me girl" - although they have no disagreement with the girl for all half-hour film, the girl even calls woman mum.

But overall, I liked the movie. Very real looking scary moments that really scare me. Perfectly capture the ambiance of the dilapidated building, both inside and outside, including the above pioneer.
