Skritek (which means 'the dwarf' in Czech) is a 21th century grotesque. Gags follow each other in a neverending line, so you are bound to laugh all the time. Don't be scared if there are no subtitles - (being Czech I wasn't) but there is not a single intelligible word whatsoever. The story is told in sounds, movement and gestures, as it should be in a grotesque, and Director Vorel made a great job with the film's stylization.
I'd assess this film with 8.5/10, because the primary objective of a grotesque (to amuse and to keep people laughing) was fully accomplished. However, this genre is not for everyone and I do realize that some people might dislike this movie. Therefore I'm assessing this one with 8, not 9.
I recommend this movie to everyone who doesn't need a film to be inherently grave and deep-going and to everyone who likes to have fun with a movie from time to time.
P.S. Please excuse my possible mistakes in grammar - I am a Czech guy:)
