Family comedy The Spooks is ambitious about the genre return in the fantasy world, to amuse viewers by a stories of supernatural creatures and fairy-tale stories. The contemporary fairy-tale comedy The Spooks is about going back to classical special effect films as "Arabela", "Saxana", or "Jak utopit Dr. Mráčka". Move out or pay rent, work or attend a school! That was the verdict pronounced by an officer Patočka over a family of Hugo the bray-bringer, which live in an old house on the edge of a small town. The family of bray-bringer Hugo consist of supernatural creatures – a Hugo´s wife/witch Patricia, their two children, another witch aunt Žofia, merman Bubla and fairy Jitřenka. They are supposed to attach to the human world, start to work, attend school and most of all start to making money for paying a rent. The end of a family seems to be irrevocable, especially after Hugo loses his voice and his wife Patricia leaves him to fly to her first love, a vampire, to Temesvar. The house should be vacated, which the creatures want to prevent at all costs. They set out to find an officer Patočka, who is in charge of their case, he hears their pleas and advise them what they should do. Merman Bubla begin working at the laundry of lady Karolína as an auxiliary assistant, Hugo incorporates into the dramatic ensemble and there he practises a fairy-tale and fairy Jitřenka becomes a first prima ballerina in the same theatre. All will be pretty much harder than it might seem. A whole family await unbelievable adventures of an unknown world. The courageous heroes are about to solve a tough tasks thanks to use of magic, they have to face the traps of a human kingdom, outsmart the red tape and keep their family together. Their colourful and joyful life, endless love and the sense of community are much stronger than greed and meanness of common humans. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

I wanted to give it one star, thinking that it wasn't as bad, but then I realized it was the same as praising someone for not shooting me in the face with a shotgun and running me over with a car instead.

With its premise of a bizarre family that must engage in ordinary human life, The Spooks makes a strong reference to the Addams Family, but unfortunately it’s very far from it in terms of quality. The Spooks is neither a fairy tale, nor a comedy (perhaps only the theatre rehearsal scenes made me smile slightly), nor a family film. Rather, it's a haphazardly spliced sequence of scenes that outdo each other in their (often perverse) bizarreness, "dominated" by the rape of Carmen Mayerová in cat form. Otherwise great actors like Karel Dobrý, Vladimír Polívka and Anna Polívková have nothing to work with here and rather embarrass themselves. Zdeněk Troška has gone a little (further) over the top this time!

The Spooks is a positive surprise in Troška's filmography. It is a modern fairy tale story in the manner of the TV series The Invisibles. It's not necessary to go to the movie theater to see The Spooks, but as a family TV show, it's very good. It's also a change, not a picturesque South Bohemian classic or an awkward idyll. It has a few good ideas, little-known actors in bigger roles, and nice exteriors of Liteň as the cherry on top of a pleasant unpretentious spectacle. This is an unexpected balance for a Zdeněk Troška film. That's probably why his numbers are so poor again - people don’t like it when he tries something new.
