Forbidden Empire (Original title Вий; Viy) is a 2014 joint Russian/Ukrainian/Czech fantasy thriller, very loosely based on Nikolai Gogol's novel Viy. This is the seventh ecranisation of Gogol's novel. The first (1909), second (1912) and third (1916) are believed to be lost; the fourth is the well-known 1967 film Viy, a.k.a. Viy: Spirit of Evil) (which is very close to the original text); the fifth is A Holy Place (Sveto mesto) (1990), and the sixth is The Power of Fear (Vedma) (2006) (although the 1990, 2006 and 2014 films are very loosely based on the original novel). The second part of the story was adapted to the subsequent film Journey to China: The Mystery of Iron Mask.

N.B. Viy is the evil god of East Slavic, pre-Christian mythology.
