This movie was recommended to me as a zombie movie, so it was a bit of a surprise to discover instead this kooky and weird modern telling of an old Czech folk tale. I’ve seen and easily accepted modern spins on well-known tales like Sleeping Beauty and Little Red Riding Hood, but I was unfamiliar with this story. I found that to be both beneficial and awkward at the same time. I tried to figure out why I wasn’t completely drawn to it. My thoughts keep circling back to it not being in my memory bank. Or it could be my lingering disappointment that it wasn’t a zombie film. Still, if you are into kooky, odd, offbeat films – with subtitles - this just might hit the spot.
