Mad God (2021)
6/10
Certainly visually impressive, and a trip into the bizarre, but nothing more
24 June 2022
The film doesn't really have any story or logic (perhaps with a title like mad god this could be a little expected) it is incredibly abstract and random. Perhaps with the odd bit of symbolism open to the viewers interpretation.

More than anything this movie is a visual treat of bizarre/horror-esque sequences, don't watch it expecting any storyline. It's like a project it's creators made to see how far their imagination could go, to make something really trippy. The visuals are quite impressive, smooth and detailed, I can see why this took 3 decades. And I did watch it all despite there being no real story, out of intrigue and being a fan of horror movies. I was wondering what crazy creation I'd see next.

The movie made me think of 4 distinct things, Little Nightmares, H. G Geiger paintings, Tool music videos and Silent Hill.

I'd recommend it just so you can say you've seen one of the weirdest films made. (And one of the best stop motions). But with no story, some may quickly lose interest. I think this raw talent should be used in a proper movie with story like Tim Burton's stop motions. There's still very much a place for that.
