    The Devil is a Car...
    This is a very unusual but interesting Czech vampire movie from 1981 - a doctor discovers that a hyper-modern formula 1 racing car is not run by fuel but with human blood! He's trying to find out the mystery of the bloodthirsty car together with a vampire hunter, but a mighty racing organization is already hunting them.

    This plot sounds rather like a trashy 50's b-movie horror, but in fact is a very witty comment on the modern fetishes of speed, high tech power and mobility - and also, as usual for cultural artifacts of the Cold War area, a critical view on capitalism. There are some remarkable, terrifying scenes like a dream sequence with the car eating the doctor or a surreal sex sequence. The experimental electronic score is also outstanding, and only the acting seems a bit wooden sometimes. Anyway, this Czech horror movie is being watched!
