David W Watched this one a couple of times. It's brilliant visually, a remarkable exercise in stop motion animation. Moody, visceral, and unsettling, it sustains a singular vision of an underworld hellscape. It's impressive. For about the first twenty percent of the film. Then it comes apart a bit. As this project came to completion over decades, you can see the seams in it where it was restarted with a completely different creative team. At points, the stop-motion goes away entirely, and you're left with sequences that are more like a "disturbing" student film. The remarkable visuals that begin the film...and are present in all the marketing...are replaced. Then replaced again. Particularly given that there's no coherent narrative, and you're there for the imagery? It's a bit deflating, particularly given the brilliance of the opening. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Kawaii H Incredible animation, very confusing, saw a guy eat poop, probably wouldn't watch again. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/21/25 Full Review John M Strange, bizarre, and utterly mesmerizing, this is NOT a film for those expecting a traditional story and plot. This is a film to immerse yourself in, let it wash over you in all its eye-popping visual glory, and come out of it wondering both WTF!!?? and “When will there be MORE?!” Animation genius Phil Tippett (RoboCop, Jurassic Park, Empire Strikes Back, Starship Troopers…) created this stop-motion nightmare fantasy, and it is a wonder to behold. If you love old-school animation in the vein of Jan Svankmaeier or the Brothers Quay, you’ll have a feast for the eyes. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review Toby D This isn't an entertainment/story film, so if that's what you're after, don't waste your time. I fully understand the low ratings from many. I'm not normally a fan of 'artsy' films, they frequently feel like being weird for the sake of it, but Mad God was an experience and I can't remember the last time a film stuck with me weeks after watching it. You'll get what you put into it. It's a film best viewed alone, without distractions. Oh and the audio is almost entirely phenominal. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/24/25 Full Review Sean P I did enjoy watching this, though I find it hard to recommend to people, much less the general audience. This film seemed to me to be a visual representation of the text shown at the beginning. The visuals, the mood, the (somewhat barely discernable) plotline, they all feed into what was shown in the beginning. It created an experience I mostly enjoyed, giving me something I've never seen before, yet it may come across as just all style and no substance to some watchers, with, again, a barely discernable plot, almost no dialogue throughout the entire film, and no real characters. The film doesn't seem to want to present itself traditionally in most ways, which adds to its' uniqueness, yet also could make it seem unfocused or incomplete. Although what I am about to say may sound irrational, if one was interested in checking it out, don't go into it expecting what you know to be a movie. It's not meant to be seen that way, yet I still think it needs to be seen, if you have the stomach for its gory visuals, of course. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/17/25 Full Review Ricardo d A parte visual, fotografia e efeitos visuais e sonoros são ótimos. Temos uma mistura de estilos de animações misturados com cenas reais. Uma piração que parece sair de uma mente drogada. Nada faz sentido até os minutos finais. Mas, talvez isso tenha feito eu não dar uma melhor nota, pois o roteiro torna cansativo o suspense de tentarmos entender o que todas aquelas cenas significam.
