Review of Mad God

Mad God (2021)
8/10
Visually incredible for stop motion lovers
12 December 2022
There is no other stop motion film like this, or one more unsettling than this. It is an acquired taste for film lovers of the horror kind indeed. What stopped me from giving this a 10/10 was all the infant crying parts which was almost unbearable given the visuals that came along with it. I also thought it would only be in one scene at first but nope, it's sprinkled throughout. While I admire this piece of art entirely otherwise, I just wish the infant crying stuff could have been limited to one scene or just not at all. I can't imagine anyone enjoyed that aspect at all but who knows with the world's minds out there. Tippet is a genius indeed though and one that hasn't been appreciated enough through the decades of his animated work in films. This is a great example of a geniuses magnum opus unfolding despite my minor problem with it. Also, there is no point trying to make sense of this all as it is very experimental and visually arresting.
