Evil Spirit

Evil Spirit (Abaakhı, 2025) is a Yakut fantasy you can watch online on iFILM, written and directed by Er Sanaa Okh-Khotor, who also plays the lead. The film is set in a world where shamans and oral storytellers have been hunted to near-extinction for two decades.

Hunter Er Sanaa has stayed out of all of it — until his son Khorsun starts showing signs of shaman power. The traitor Otalan, a shaman who switched sides long ago, hears about the boy and arrives with his men to take him. Er Sanaa follows his son into the forest, going alone against a squad. A lean, 60-minute Siberian myth filmed in the Yakut language. Stream Evil Spirit online on iFILM.
