This is Russian Twilight... No, not like that. This Is Russian Twilight!!!. That's what cunning Russian producers wanted you to think after watching the trailer of Devil's Flower (Цветок Дьявола).
Ekaterina aka Katya Grokhovskaya had started filming of Devil's Flower based on her original scenario in autumn of 2007. At the same month in February 2008 when she finished the shooting, director with the same name Catherine Hardwicke began filming of Twilight in Oregon.
During post-production Russian director ran out of money due to financial crisis. So the film Devil's Flower that should have been released before Twilight, had been frozen for about 2 years. By the end of 2008 Twilight had been released and got unexpected success.
By a mystical coincidence both films look similar, so that's probably why some Russian producer or producers gave money to finish the movie, looking on financial success of Twilight. But in return, they made Devil's Flower look more twilight-ish.
