Wow, but the quality of the stop-motion animation in this is breathtaking. On a big screen, the detailed movement of characters and settings alike; the clever use of light and shade look superb – it’s really quite an astonishing piece of art to enjoy. The story itself is almost incidental – it centres around a gas-mask clad human lowered into a dystopian environment of ruins and hideous mutations where life and limb are at risk every step it takes edging through this murderous and perilously dark and dangerous environment towards a central tower from which, we can safely assume, the root of this brutal evil emanates. As the adventure progresses, we begin to appreciate the story is not so much about the grimy and hostile scenarios, but about the nature of whatever is in this tower that presides, perhaps even thrives, over this abject misery. It is frequently peppered with some deliciously cruel dark humour – things get squashed and squished with a ruthlessness that isn’t really menacing, but actually quite entertaining as his trek through this industrial maelstrom continues. I reckon this does need a cinema – so much of the skilful artistry won’t really work so well on a television, however big. It has a great, deconstructed, persevering style to it that surprised me – and i did quite enjoy watching.

Mad God is a terrifying triumph to animation. It is mesmerizing, unique, and disgusting through and through. The ruined city in the film is coated in these overwhelming layers of grunge and unknown fluids that practically ooze onto the audience. The film seems to draw homage from the Labyrinth Cenobites reside in from the Hellraiser films. Apart from taking away that we’re all doomed to repeat the same pain and anguish for eternity, Mad God’s one flaw is reasoning behind its gruesome existence. Dreams and aspirations lead us through life like a treasure map, which more often than not, never come true. There’s nothing out there quite like Mad God. It is frighteningly phantasmagorical and a horrific masterpiece of animation.

Yuck. Irk. Ew. Again, please?
You might not know Phil Tippett by name, but if you’ve watched science-fiction movies for the past 50 years, particularly those with effects courtesy of Industrial Light & Magic, you undoubtedly know of his contributions to cinema. From Roger Corman to George Lucas to Steven Spielberg, this man has done stop-motion and creature design for some of the absolute giants.

Ever since the production of Robocop 2 and Jurassic Park, there’s another movie Tippett has been working on: a passion project that represents 30 years of toil that, in a sense, has been taking place “behind the scenes” of all these better-known productions. It spent a considerable amount of years on the shelf too, admittedly, but thanks to the magic of Kickstarter, the project has now seen the light of day — as dark and dreary as it may be.

That film is Mad God, a seminally unsettling and transfixingly dreamlike journey into the depths of… I don’t even know where. Combining stop-motion and puppetry (the stuff Tippett is best at) with a bit of live-action and seemingly some CGI during the scenes that were likely produced last, the movie is unrelenting in its barrage of deranged images and so feels longer than it is — albeit not in a boring way, but rather in the sense that a mere 5 minutes of runtime will be so rich with new, disturbing sights and sounds that they seem like 20.

Indeed, these are some of the most memorable images of this entire movie year. No sequence is quite like the last. They recall the nightmare-inspired short films of David Firth — with some splashes of SFX-heavy classics like Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, et al. — and also made me think of Vernon Chatman (of The Shivering Truth and XAVIER: Renegade Angel), whose works I often claim have a method to the madness, as the saying goes. More precisely, I propose that “Rarely has this much madness represented this much of a method”.

Yes, as bonkers as this movie is in terms of tone and presentation, I often felt like I “understood” much of what I saw; like there were parallels, symbols, and distorted metaphors for the cruelties inherent to human society (as seems natural for a work of dystopian sci-fi horror). Some images bring to mind the “faceless”, disposable nature of human lives in a world of industry and war, while a closing sequence — inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey — indicates that this system will continue to be replicated so long as humans are replicated. Something like that, anyhow.

Even when I didn’t really understand what I was seeing, I wanted to learn more. I wanted to explore this universe further; to see what other layers there might be and what other creatures might roam beneath the rubble or behind the 1984-esque monitors. I wanted to see just how much deeper into the bleak depths Phil Tippett’s imagination could bring us. I mentioned before that each scene has enough content and visual imaginativeness to fill multiple. Yet, this feels like but a glimpse into the world of Mad God.

Between this and the new season of Love, Death & Robots, 2022 is shaping up to be a triumphant year for those who truly make our movies happen through their painstaking VFX work, knack for design, and whatever else. If you’re easily upset by violence or disturbing imagery, you probably shouldn’t watch this; the cruelty inflicted upon these puppets is more nauseating than most live-action gore I’ve seen. That being said, anyone who respects cinema and special effects should see it at least once, and those who have lost faith in the art form — insisting that Hollywood, with its modern creative bankruptcy, represents the totality of film (while refusing to seek out wildly imaginative, impassioned pieces like this) — should see it twice.

Long story short: I think it’s fair to say this is the best movie Phil Tippett has directed since Starship Trooper 2. Log on to Shudder and search for it, you handsome devils. Bring a puke pail.

Nightmarish World Brought to Life with Stop-Motion
This is a movie that I saw part of the trailer at the Gateway Film Center. What I took from it was that it looked wild. I saw that Phil Tippett was behind this and that made me want to see this even more. This is one that I went back to the theater to see as I figured it was a movie that I needed to experience.

Synopsis: a corroded diving bell descends amidst a ruined city and the Assassin appears from it to explore a labyrinth of bizarre landscapes inhabited by freakish denizens.

There’s not a lot more that I can say from that synopsis. This has no dialogue. I should say that it starts showing a tower, a heavy cloud descends over it. I’m assuming this is showing us God when he destroyed the tower of Babylon. We then get text from the bible from the book of Leviticus. This is followed by the diving bell from the synopsis as it lowers. The last man, Alex Cox, exits and follows a map he is given through different sections of this world. It is a living nightmare that includes the world, the creatures that inhabit it and how everything is connected to other things to make them work.

Our last man must traverse this world. I’m not sure his mission is, but that also isn’t important. We get to see the events that lead to him arriving and even the person who sends him there. What is important here is the journey. Seeing the time and effort that went into not only thinking this up but bringing it to life. Sitting in the theater, I can’t fully explain what I saw, but this is visually stunning. This would be a movie that I would recommend to people who use mind altering substances. If you are prone to a bad trip, avoid this as I think this could mess with some people not prepared for what they’re going to experience.

To get a bit deeper, I haven’t looked much about this movie, but I know a good portion of this is stop-motion photography. That is just impressive. The trailer is boasting that this is 30 years in the making and I believe it. From what I saw on Letterboxd, it appears that this has been released throughout the last decade or so in parts. This I’m guessing is the most compiled version. It also looks like that this movie is incorporating in camera effects like forced perspective and having real actors strategically in shots. The cinematography and effects are amazing. Bringing this to life is impressive as it feels like our characters are in this world. Not everything looks realistic, but that would be nitpicking, which I’m not going to do.

Going along with how this is shot is the soundtrack. The sounds that go into this are things that I recognize like animal sounds or babies crying. In normal situations, they are just that. What is making them in this are nightmarish creatures and that adds to that vibe. I thought this was also quite effective. Since there isn’t dialogue or a coherent story as I’ve been saying, you don’t have to pay attention in that sense. This is more visual and auditory journey with what it is conveying. The sound design of the movie is right up there for me as well.

Normally I’d go into the acting, but there isn’t much I can say there. When we get live actors, I think they’re solid. They can hide who they are or what they look like. It is almost like watching silent actors performing in roles. They can be expressive with body language and in cases like with the nurse, played by Niketa Roman, facial expressions. No one in this movie is going to win awards. They aren’t the focal though. They are just another piece to add to the atmosphere that is effective.

There’s not a whole lot more that I can say. I’m not trying to shortchange this movie, but this is more of an experience. The amount of work and time that was put into this is amazing. The final product reflects that. I love this nightmarish world we are in and seeing our characters traverse it. This is a visual and auditory odyssey. Not everything makes sense, but also in a way it does. This won’t be for everyone. This is most definitely an arthouse film. With this first viewing, I’d rate this as a good movie for what it is. I wouldn’t be able to go higher than where I have it now though.

My Rating: 8 out of 10.
