Korkunç İvan, sinemanın büyük ustası Eisenstein'ın her zaman değerini sürdüren, en son ve en anıtsal yapıtıdır. Eisenstein bu filminde, bütün sanatların öğelerini toplamış, bunları birbirleriyle kaynaştırarak, sinemayı bütün sanatların bileşkesini sağlayan bir araç durumuna getirmeyi amaçlamıştır. Korkunç İvan'da, bir devlet kurucusunun her alanda verdiği savaşımı anlatılmaktadır. Devlet kurma uğruna yüksek bedeller ödemekten çekinmeyen olağanüstü bir kişiliktir, İvan. Devleti soyup talan eden, parmağında oynatan, iktidarı vermek istemeyen ve kukla bir çara razı olan boyarlarla savaşım; dış düşmanlar ve işbirlikçileriyle savaşım; ülkeyi soylularla birlikte soyan ve yönetmek isteyen kiliseyle savaşım; bunun sonucunda da böylesine ağır bir yükün altında ezilen İvan'ın bizzat kendisiyle savaşımı, bu yapıtta bir ruhbilim incelemesine dönüşmektedir.

Büyük usta Eisenstein’dan sinema sanatına büyük yenilikler getiren, bir sinema klasiği. İlk Rus çarı Ivan’ı konu alan, epik tarzda yapılmış düşündürücü bir film. Filmde tarihe Korkunç Ivan olarak geçen Rus çarının öyküsü konu ediliyor. Eisenstein, Korkunç Ivanı üç bölüm halinde çekmeyi tasarlamıştı ancak bu trajedi-operanın sadace iki bölümünü çekebildi. Çünkü Stalin, filmin ikinci bölümünün İvan’ı zayıf bir kişilik olarak gösterdiğini düşünmekteydir. Ve bu ikinci bölüm ancak Stalin’in ölümünden beş yıl sonra gösterime çıkabildi.
