Fascination is a film that is a little bit crude in its eroticism - in the sense that it's just about showing naked female bodies - but it delivers this crudeness quite subtly and, most importantly, in a very sexy way. The women here are beautiful and natural, and the film, while perverse at its core, is very tasteful in its presentation of eroticism and is visually simply beautiful. And there’s not much more to it.

This fairytale is just so beautifully naive that I can't help but rate it highly. There are so many memorable lines that I don't even know where they come from, and I use them myself. Moreover, the songs are simply unforgettable, and Svěrák and Uhlíř gave their all in them. It still entertains me after all these years.

The third time's the charm? Plot-wise it's not as good as the previous films, and in fact it's actually quite weak and maybe a bit too loopy, just to keep the audience engaged for the third time. However, the musical numbers are still good and definitely worth watching. The girls have everything they need and their musical arrangements are still great.

Ghosts of Darkness has quite good moments - not many, and they are not great, but they are good enough and you can see that there was an attempt to scare or at least disgust the audience. The film did a good job in places, but the slow pace was not a good idea, because it's rather tiresome and the two paranormal investigators also get quite tiresome after a while and you'll end up hoping their ordeal ends quickly.

Funeral Home has a pretty decent idea, but the execution isn't all that great. It stars a kind old lady who wants to run a boarding house, but as far as the actual killing goes, it's just not that great. It doesn't always have the right atmosphere, although there are some hints that it could be really good. This film does have something to it, something that makes the film worth watching.

The horror film Bleed focuses on the last part, which is evident. It is meant to shock the viewer, although it is obvious that this is what the script has been aiming for all along. This is the part that's gory, the part that's really ugly, though the execution is certainly not perfect. Still, it's the best part and at least it makes Bleed worth watching. You really won't find many other reasons to watch this film and you might be better off skipping it.

If you're a found footage enthusiast and you're into everything that's made in this genre, go ahead and watch A Night in the Woods. You'll probably enjoy it. But if you think found footage is long dead, then there's no point in you watching the film, because it will just be another reason for you to think that the genre really died quite a while ago. There's nothing interesting here at all.

Although there is indeed an investigation going on here, it unfortunately turns out to be quite boring and doesn't provide an interesting twist. Most of the scenes are terribly flat and boring, even the "Visions" in the title have nothing to them that could have any terrifying effect on the viewer. This is lazy work, and you can almost say that Luigi Cecinelli was not able to properly build a suspenseful plot.

Tomáš Holý was so endearing, so immediate and so great, that films with him simply have to pull you in. Moreover, his chemistry with František Němec is simply great. Even though the script by Marie Poledňáková is sometimes a bit awkward and some scenes are mechanical, the actors handle them well and the film caresses the soul.

New fairy tales just don't have the right charm and it doesn't matter how many well-known or unknown good-looking characters appear in them. The princesses are boring, and the only people who do a good job are the acting matadors, who simply cannot disappoint and single-handedly do what is needed. However, if the story doesn't resonate, then it doesn't matter.
