Pérák: Stín nad Prahou (2016) User Reviews

The shadow over Prague

[Rectangular_businessman · 8/10 · 30 May 2022]

A pretty solid short.

The idea has lots of potential and it could work as feature-length film, or even as a series.

The art style is pretty good, and feels pretty much like a comic in motion.

Those viewers who are into comics like Hellboy, or old superhero serials set during World War II will find this short very enjoyable.

I sincerly think it deserves more popularity.

Czech toon super hero.

Sophisticated student movie attempt to revive the Perak franchise centered on a super hero-villain with traits of Fantomas & Spring Healed Jack featured in Czech "Think Magazine."

The Nazis are working in the WW2 Jewish grave yard disinterring the Golem and their commander insists on inserting the control device in it's Star of David brow to give him power. "You're David - not Goliath." He gets splattered promptly. Meanwhile Pérák is having trouble with the girl fighter who tries to take him out with a machine gun.

The Golem goes tramping through walls till leaping Pérák lures him into the river & throws mud in his face (!)

Flash forward and workmen by accident find our hero in the Stalin era.

Good figurative, hard line animation.
