Horror Story

Pulp gothic horror, Czech design. A writer/narrator guides us through a kaleidoscope patchwork of old-school expressionism, slapstick, melodrama and horror all filmed in tinted intertitles and sepia with abrupt 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.
