Gruesome horror art in motion. If you have a thing for gore, grime, and grotesque things... this may be the film for you. Where Mad God lacks in plot and dialog, it more than makes up for with its post-apocalyptic visuals, incredibleGruesome horror art in motion.

Where Mad God lacks in plot and dialog, it more than makes up for with its post-apocalyptic visuals, incredible stop-motion, and ominous musical score.

Let me start with that this is not 100% stop motion. There is CGI and real people mixed in occasionally (probably due to the colossal amount of time and effort stop-motion takes).

There is CGI and real people mixed in occasionally (probably due to the colossal amount of time and effort stop-motion takes). It is a bit jarring, but by that point you will probably not care. The only reason this is not scoring much higher is that this is not a movie, in the same way a walking simulator is not a game. It is visually stunning, but ultimately unfulfilling. Even without verbal narration, you expect some kind of world building and goal. There is none in this. That robs it of anything other than being a demonstration of ability to string together cool looking scenes that do not add up to anything meaningful. The ending can be summed up as "screw it and lets do acid". However it is interesting that it does engender the same uselessness in the final product, that was being portrayed throughout. A strange non-movie that is still very artful.

As others have warned, there is a lot of gore, but it is usually quite silly which robs it of any lasting disgust. So if you are looking for a one watch art piece, this is a great choice at 8.5/10. If you are looking for a horror movie, this is only a 4/10.… Expand

'Mad God' is a bizarre experiment that takes you to a world full of all the ¿human? fluids you could ever imagine.

Through a nightmarish setting and some disturbing images, the legendary Phil Tippet delivers what could probably be the culmination of his brilliant career. But, at least for me, this is too impenetrable to get involved. A little narrative would've been nice. The stop-motion looks amazing and terrifying, but the live-action segments didn't blend in that well. Although I appreciate the 30-year effort to bring this to life, I didn't find it that special, at least in storytelling terms. But who am I to criticize one of the best film animators of all time?

Warning: don't watch this while eating.… Expand
