This film that – with a bit of overstatement – refers to the famous vampire movie of the silent era merges the traits of sci-fi, horror, black-humoured crime and erotic film. This creative story about a car that is a biological machine whose gear pedal sucks blood from the feet of female drivers has a unique position in the Czech cinema. (Summer Film School)
