22h10: Czech Republic 1993,  96 min. with english subs

Pulp gothic horror, Czech style. A writer/narrator guides us through a kaleidoscope patchwork of old-school horror, melodrama, slapstick and expressionism all filmed in tinted sepia and intertitles with sudden bursts of unexpected gore and nudity. The stories are lurid, wild, whimsical and all over the place, and include an evil Jesuit, a proud nobleman, pirates, bloodthirsty monks, necrophiliac morgue employees, wild passion in the forest, criminals, cave monsters, zombies, seductions, corruptions, primitive tribes, bar brawls, etc. Some of the stories blend in incoherent ways and the writer's own life becomes its own little horror story. Entertaining, stylish and wild.
(Quote from Worldwide Celluloid Massacre)

The film is based on the book of the same title (A Sanguinary Novel) by the very individual Czech painter, typographer, author and philosopher Josef Vachal, who squeezed adventure, love, horror and other parallel episodes into, what is called, decadent reading for maids. It takes you through the history of the cinema, from silent films, to the beginning of sound and up to the very present.
(Written by Jan Lipsansky)
