About

This short comedy horror film was made by film publicists and writers Marek Dobeš and Štěpán Kopřiva, who have focused their work so far mainly on low genres and B films. The authors have transformed motifs from werewolf or vampire horror films into a comedy formula according to which intellectuals are dangerous creatures whose bite turns a person into a freak. This is exactly what happens to the consumerist young man Pavel, who, thanks to his girlfriend Eva, recovers and eliminates the pack of thinkers with the help of a TV remote control. As a symbol of consumer culture, the device has supernatural powers and is a mortal danger to inhuman creatures.
