Quite funny mocumentary. I liked the cut out animation parts and the overall mood of the story. The discoveries went all the way more and more unbelievable levels. The amateur archeologist acted his part nice.

A fairly atypical short from Jan Svankmajer. A live action fake interview with a scholar researching the real world locations of Horace Walpole's gothic novel is intercut with a paper cutout animation recreation of the book's plot. The animation is more reminiscent of Terry Gilliam than Svankmajer. It's a one-joke little outing, but a fairly amusing one,
