Summary: When a childless couple learn that they cannot have children, it causes great distress. To ease his wife's pain, the man finds a stump in the backyard and chops it and varnishes it into the shape of a child. However the woman takes the root as her baby and starts to pretend that it is real. When the root takes life they seem to have gained a child; but its appetite is much greater than that of a normal child. (imdb)

I think this caused me to have nightmares, but it was still very enjoyable and a well executed fairy tale

This isn't the best movie, but you should still see it. You will always think, 'Yeah, I saw Little Otik.'

I love Švankmajer, but he's best when using stop-motion.

The first half is awesome (85/100) the second half keeps dragging on and on and on (6/100). So I averaged it to 70/100.

I still think Svankmajer is best suited for short films, which highlight his eccentricities without dragging them out to the point of boredom.

A strange and unusual horror movie from Svankmajer, Little Otik will appeal to fans of the macabre. My problem with it is that it tends to exagerate elements of the tale instead of developing or building on them, and it also suffers from irritating photographic mannerisms such as many uncalled-for, painfully extreme closeups.

All these tight shots really started grating on my nerves, delivers in some scenes but outlives its purpose, which is about the only complaint I have but it's such a consistent one. It's imaginative for the first half and I always have fun with this mix of fairy tale and reality but it did get predictable. The humor kept it from getting dull.
