"As long as it gets lots of views, right?" Screambox has revealed their own official trailer for a Czech horror comedy cult favorite called Shoky & Morthy: Last Big Thing, made by a Czech filmmaker named Andy Fehu. After first premiering in Czechia at the 2021 Karlovy Vary Film Festival, it's finally getting released in the US - streaming on Bloody Disgusting's Screambox service. It's out now if you want to watch. Shoky and Morthy are best friends and successful YouTubers, but their fame is slowly beginning to fade.

Czech Republic’s ‘Repulse’ sinks the audience into an extended exercise in trauma that turns to brevity and non-linear storytelling to amplify its pain.
“You can do whatever you want.”
“What do I want?”
Screams of anguish are the only forms of dialogue that are present in the first ten minutes of Repulse, Emil Krizka’s ode to anger and revenge from the Czech Republic. Repulse is intentionally sparse with its dialogue so that the raw weight of every gesture and groan speak for themselves. It’s an isolating tactic, but one that immediately establishes that the world is a harsh, angry, confusing place. It’s a grim mission statement, but one that reverberates through every single frame of Emil Krizka’s Repulse.
Repulse is one big Russian nesting doll of pain, torture, and humility that only grows more toxic as the film digs deeper and casts a wider net.
