Reviews (1)
If it weren't sometimes so amateurish and didn't look so unpolished, it would be an entertaining fantasy film with elements of comedy and horror, which was shot in a Czech co-production and with some Czech locations. But even that can't save a strange fantasy that strays too far outside the boundaries of tolerability.
