"They say he sent 100 Krauts to meet their maker." Dark Sky Films has released an official US trailer for the Russian WWII action thriller Red Ghost: Nazi Hunter, formerly known as simply The Red Ghost. This opened in Russia last year and is hitting VOD in the US soon. December 30, 1941. In Vyazma a small group of Soviet soldiers are trying to return to their comrades. They are suddenly caught in an unequal battle with a special unit of the Wehrmacht. None of these brave soldiers was born a hero but they became heroes. And were helped in their battle by the Red Ghost. The myth of the "Red Ghost" is about a lone hero who picks off Nazi soldiers one by one. He seems to be able to vanish almost magically into the forests and even to come back from the dead. Starring Aleksey Shevchenkov, Vladimir Gostyukhin, Yuriy Borisov, Polina Chernyshyova, Wolfgang Cerny, and Michael Gor. Another intense jingoistic war movie from Russia - packed with bloody action galore. The English dubbing they put in this trailer is awful - you've been warned.

Here's the official US trailer (+ poster) for Andrei Bogatyrev's Red Ghost: Nazi Hunter, from YouTube:

Vyazma, USSR. WWII - December 1941. A mythical lone-wolf fighter, known as The Red Ghost (Aleksey Shevchenkov), roams the Russian forests sniping and killing Nazis one by one. He’s so destructive that a special unit of the Nazis' Wehrmacht is ordered to specifically find him & kill him. Simultaneously, a band of Soviet soldiers behind enemy lines trudge through the snow, hopeful to find safety, warmth and vodka. Instead, they find themselves trapped at a farm and surrounded by the Wehrmacht unit against whom they must fight to the death - but not without the help of The Red Ghost. Red Ghost: Nazi Hunter, also known as just The Red Ghost, or Красный призрак in Russian, is directed by Russian filmmaker Andrei Bogatyrev (also written as Andrey Bogatyryov), director of the films BAgI, Iuda, White Nights, and Wild League previously, plus the TV show "SashaTanya". The script is by Pavel Abramenkov, Andrey Bogatyryov, and Vyacheslav Shikhaleev. This originally opened in Russia last summer. Dark Sky Films will release Red Ghost: Nazi Hunter direct-to-VOD in the US this winter - stay tuned for the exact date. Is anyone into this?
