Mad God

Product Information

Follow The Assassin through a forbidding world of tortured souls, decrepit bunkers, and wretched monstrosities forged from the most primordial horrors of the subconscious mind. If stop-motion animation is indeed a dying art, then Mad God is its maniacal magnum opus, Phil Tippett’s raised-fist act of resistance—nay, defiance—against the dying of the light. Updated daily and in real-time, we track all high-def disc news and release dates, and review the latest disc titles. There’s a degree where we are made complicit in allowing this horrifying machine to continue, repetitively, with no end in sight.

whatever the reaction, if you have the stomach for it, I would recommend seeing it if you get the chance. Our protagonist is not exempt from this rule, crushing smaller creatures underfoot on his journey, before facing the wrath of those bigger than himself. In a dystopian hellscape, a nameless masked figure journeys through an onslaught of nightmares, attempting to reach some unknown goal that you really hope is worthwhile. Guillermo del Toro does solid work keeping the conversation flowing with the director and getting into what makes Phil Tippett tick. This is really a kind of intimate profile of the artist and his origins, as seen by and revealed to someone close to him.Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH).

With images like these running through his head, it’s no wonder Tippett ended up spending time in a psychiatric facility. Equipped with a gas mask and a crumbling map, the Assassin, an iron-clad humanoid, descends into a rusty, peril-laden underworld of grime, blood, tortured souls, decrepit bunkers and unsettling monstrosities forged from the most primordial horrors of the subconscious mind.

P. Lovecraft, Ralph Bakshi, Jim Henson, Pieter Bruegel, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Hieronymus Bosch, Terry Gilliam, Stanley Kubrick, even Bob Dylan, all of it fed like steaming meat though the grinder of Tippett’s unique creative sensibilities.this was made with the help and participation of countless Tippett friends, contemporaries, and contributors. Do not enter into this film lightly, for it will make every attempt to rip apart your mind and will make no headway at piecing it back together again, but if that sounds like a fun afternoon for you then I’d consider this a strong recommendation. Mad God is a sight to behold, and along with Tigers Are Not Afraid, the best film Shudder has had a hand in distribution-wise.
