chernukha
Where it comes from
From Russian черну́ха (černúxa), from чёрный (čórnyj, “black”).
noun
- A gloomy genre of Russian horror. Though the USA came in for severe criticism, it was admitted that at least the Americans had perfected a form for the horror film. The Russians were unsure of genres. One speaker made the helpful observation that we should distinguish between home-grown 'chernukha' and foreign 'chernukha'.
