I’m overrating it a little, of course, it’s very amateurish, but it gave me the impression that with a decent budget and cast (there are no actors here), the director would be able to make a very good horror film. For instance, the rape scene at around the 30th minute met all my requirements for a serious rape and revenge film and it’s the imaginary highlight of the movie. There are a couple of times when the film is unintentionally funny (the performances of the actors in the secondary roles), but this doesn’t change the fact that I watched Someone Down There Likes Me until the end (and it’s pretty long), which is far from guaranteed in an amateur flick.

Roman Vojkůvka has made a good movie, which, however, has slightly overlong duration and mainly changes in the second half into an exhibition of various terrifying and disgusting scenes. I'm not saying that they are bad, some of them are very good and have a strong impact on you, but as a whole, it is rather fragmented and gives you the feeling that you are watching a compilation of short stories. There are also some longer silent passages that stretch the duration more than necessary. A film twenty minutes shorter would not hurt. But that doesn't change the fact that "Someone Down There Likes Me" has great gore and is occasionally surprisingly daring. Another example that Czech horror is alive and good.
