Internet users and social media followers love to tell stories. As is the case with Goncharov’s film, which is frankly billed as “the greatest mafia movie ever made” by none other than Scorsese himself.
What are we talking about today? Well, Zepotha, a horror film that seems to be absolutely iconic from the 80s. In recent days, thousands of comments have flooded the TikTok realm about the film, leading to some of its scenes (Including one set in the forest) or the disastrous fate of its characters. To put things in perspective, the hashtag #Zepota It already has more than 76 million views.
