Korra N

An epic stop motion nightmare 30 years in the making, Mad God is unlike anything I've ever seen. It's equally bizarre, grotesque, dreary, and horrifying, but it's also compelling from start to finish. It's not for the faint of heart with some truly nasty imagery, but it is a masterpiece of visual storytelling.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Jordan Hoffman

Decider

This is a true, old school midnight movie, meant to expand your mind, initiate conversation and perhaps inspire you to stay up late one night working on something creative. Everyone in college should be forced to watch movies like this.

David Sims

The Atlantic

There is a plot of sorts and plenty of grisly stop-motion violence, but Mad God is most impressive as a work of sheer atmosphere, a visual experience that is actually unlike any other.

The Ringer

The best compliment you can pay to Mad God is to say it’s made in the image of its creator.

Spectrum Culture

Frenetically violent sequences are contrasted with deliberate or even strangely ethereal moments, and the whole experience boils down to beautiful ugliness.

Fort Worth Weekly

Don’t try to make sense of Phil Tippett’s animated horror movie. Just be terrified by his creature design, which features new fantastic beasts around every corner...

Flickering Myth

Watching Mad God is certainly not a waste of time, but it does take a lot of investment to get the best out of it, much like how it was produced.
