There is a live action sequence concerning a doctor, nurse, and the lead character, "The Assassin," that made me question my love of horror as it was so perfect in its intent to horrify that it almost broke me - a glistening, surgical mutilation scene that doesn't stop. It taps into universal and personal fears. There was another sequence that made me feel like I was watching Caroliner on numerous hits of tremendously bad acid. Thirty years to create this gorgeous stop motion nightmare where the absence of traditional storytelling behooves one to look inside and confront what honestly scares them. Absolutely loved it. A singular horrific filmgoing experience.
Have you seen it? What did you think?
