If you loved The Pit, the Pendulum and Hope, try The Flat

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Jan Švankmajer, and they both carry the dread, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Pit, the Pendulum and Hope, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Flat is

Darkness in a Prague flat winter morning a ticking clock. A man trapped in shifting rooms. Švankmajer's surreal era shines through.
