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.
