Sveto mesto (Lugar Sagrado, 1990) é baseado num clássico literário, o conto de 1835 de Nikolai Gogol, 'Viy'. No entanto, Kadijevic usa-o apenas como ponto de partida para suas próprias explorações no lado negro do erotismo. A história de Gogol trata de Toma, um relutante estudante de teologia que é forçado a ler os Salmos por uma rapariga morta durante três noites seguidas. Enquanto isso, forças sobrenaturais tentam agarrá-lo do Círculo Sagrado desenhado no chão da igreja.

Kadijevic afasta-se da história original e introduz um excesso de perversidade e horror que lembra mais o gótico anglo-americano do que as tentativas eslavas mais leves de um modo semelhante.
