Alexander Pushkin’s terrifying ghost story comes to life in The Queen Of Spades. An elderly countess strikes a bargain with the devil and exchanges her soul for the ability to always win at cards. An army officer, who is also a fanatic about cards, murders her for the secret, then finds himself haunted by the woman’s spirit. (Via Vision Entertainment)

The British movie The Queen of Spades is going to make a lot of psychological drama aficionados very happy. The Queen of Spades is not really a horror movie, although a few scenes are well shot. Above all, it adapts some basic ideas from the literary work into the movie. However, the story probably deserved to be set in the present day rather than being a period drama.
