Like Fritz Lang, David Fincher or Bong Joon Ho before him, talented debut filmmaker Lado Kvataniya uses the concept of police detective vs serial killer for an excitingly stylised, macabre and haunting narrative, that ultimately revolves around the identity of an era: in this case, the late 1980s Soviet Union. With Glasnost and the end of communist rule, the West also learned of the (unsurprising) fact that there were serial killers in Russia too – the most notorious case probably that of Andrei Chikatilo, nicknamed the Rostov Ripper, or the Russian Hannibal Lecter. Based on these and many other sources, Kvataniya and screenwriter Olga Gorodetskaya constructed an immersive psychological puzzle, jumping back and forth in time, to reveal ever new-possible motives for the actions of all the protagonists. It all starts in 1990, when Detective Issa Davydov is celebrating his promotion and receives a call, reporting a crime that looks precisely like the ones of the serial killer that he famously captured some years before. As Davydov delves deeper into the investigation, he begins to question whether he arrested the right man—or if the real killer is still at large, taunting him with a twisted game of cat and mouse. The film masterfully blends elements of crime thriller and psychological horror, set against the bleak backdrop of a crumbling Soviet empire. With its atmospheric cinematography, tense pacing, and morally ambiguous characters, *The Execution* (2021) offers a chilling exploration of guilt, obsession, and the dark corners of human nature. The narrative’s non-linear structure keeps viewers on edge, as fragmented memories and shifting timelines slowly unveil the truth. Kvataniya’s direction pays homage to classic noir while infusing the story with a distinctly modern, visceral intensity. The result is a gripping, thought-provoking debut that lingers long after the credits roll.
