**(Two Stars) |

This is not
the sort of horror movie that is entertaining to watch or
that you would bring someone on a date, but if you are into
artistic movies that make you think this is up your alley.

This was my first Czech movie
and to be honest I just didn't get it. To be completely fair
I think I’m just too young to understand or appreciate it.
I remember waking up in the middle of the night as a small
child and sneaking downstairs to watch TV. I would turn it
on some random late night movie and watch it almost on
silent so I wouldn't get in trouble. So of course it was
usually an art house film and it would make no sense to me
but I’d watch it anyway because I wanted to stay up and
watch TV (yes I was a very rebellious young child.) This
movie takes me back to that place in my life and if you are
a fan of art house film or old school horror then you will
most definitely enjoy this film. |

After seeing so many modern
day Horror films this movie was not in the least a bit
scary, but as it was most definitely eerie, and absolutely
nightmarish - well deserving of its title.

I like
the fact that none of the actors were attractive; they
were more focused on the story than selling a pretty
package. The story was about this guy who happened to
stumble across this lunatic who is taking over an insane
asylum. He was then sucked into this living nightmare
and tried to become the savior where as he was
just merely a pawn.
|
|
It was refreshing to see a
psychotic ending and not a Hollywood ending. Lunacy’s ending
was focused on the story and the message. |
|
After seeing this movie I
realized it was based on an original screen play by
Edgar Allan Poe
and I think that would explain the use of the old Stop
Motion Animation which was made popular (at least to me)
from the
Mr. Bill's Classics.
I still do not understand why they used the meats to lead
into the next chapter. If you see the film and get the meat
email me at

is invited by a Marquis he meets at lunch to spend a night
in his castle. There Berlot witnesses a blasphemous orgy and

Marquis insists on helping him conquer his fears and takes
his guest to a surrealistic lunatic asylum where the
patients have complete freedom and the staff are locked up
behind bars. 2 hours. Not Rated. |
