Little Otik - A Review

From Beginning to End (A Summary):

This film is set in Czech Republic. This film was filmed based off of a folk tale that is similar to the works of the Grim Brothers. 

This film is about a married couple who does not have any kids, but are eager to have one at least. Of course the wife becomes a bit crazy. One day at their summer house, while the husband was digging out the tree trunks, he dung out one tree trunk and found it to look similar to a kid / baby, therefore takes it to the shed and started to make the trunk similar as possible to a real child, and then he gave it to his wife. His wife was super happy to have a "kid". When it was time to leave, the wife was so crazy that she didn't want to leave the "baby", the husband thought that it was going over board. As they left to go back to the city, at home she was really crazy. The husband took her back to the summer house and locked her in the house along with the "baby", and left them there for a week or so. As he came back to see her, he found out that the "baby" was a live as human, sucking as a baby, gooing as a baby too. It frighten him, that he almost chopped the "baby" apart, but for the sake of his wife he didn't. 

They brought the "baby" back, and the wife pretends to be pregnant for 8 months and also to give birth. Everyone in they're apartment building thought that she did have a baby. Of course after a few weeks, the "baby" ate the wife's hair. The baby became more and more hungry. 

The little girl next door to them was suspicious and found out that the "baby" was not even a baby at all. She then read a book, a folk book, that told of the story of Otik, a baby like trunk that turned into a eating machine, eating everything in it's way. 

Indeed after many disappearance of people that stopped by the couple's house, they locked the "baby" into a trunk in the basement. But the little girl found out and took care of it. In the end, the old lady that tendered the cabbage garden took her hoe and killed the "baby" 

My Thought:

I thought that this film was really interesting but really, it was gross. Well only if the film was not filmed in this kind of way, for which it zoomed into the food, the mouths of the characters and the animation. I thought it was too much. But other than that it was also scary. I recommend others to watch it.
