Commentary:
After making a humorous Croatian western, Mala pljačka vlaka, in his second feature film Dejan Šorak took on the subgenre of vampire movies, setting his in the local environment. The director did not strike a wholly successful balance between the elements of comical parody, erotic love, and horror contained in the film. Nevertheless, the twisted atmosphere of this film lends it certain charming and endearing qualities.
