Philip Gelatt & Morgan Galen King - 2021 - 93m - NO MATINEES - NOT ONE FOR THE KIDS!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Voice work by Lucy Lawless, Patton Oswalt, Richard E. Grant & others!

This epic begins many years ago when an ambitious young man steals forbidden knowledge from a sacred plant and, as he falls to its darker temptations, unleashes ages of suffering onto mankind. As his power grows over the years, there are many who stand against him. Among them are a daring tomb-robber, star-crossed lovers, a maniacal necromancer, winged assassins, and an undying guardian.

A midnight movie at its finest, this is a film by and for those who love hard fantasy. Ralph Bakshi and HEAVY METAL are the touchstones here, with a sprinkle of CONAN on top. 

We're gonna crank it loud and let the lavish airbrushing and rotoscope work wash over you the audience!

"Extreme, skeleton-snapping ultraviolence... to watch it is to feel the wide-eyed thrill of many a Generation X teen for whom hard fantasy - particularly in animated form - was a gateway into more illicit spectacles." - Variety

"Ditto the Bakshi-perfect animation, which transports you back to a time when stuff like this still felt dangerous." - David Ehrlich, indieWire

"This is hard fantasy, made by people who clearly know and love the form." -  Abby Olcese, RogerEbert.com

The rotoscoped animated fantasy is a gleeful geek culture throwback to gore- and boob-fest films like Wizards and Heavy Metal. Ralph Bakshi would approve." - Christopher Lloyd, The Film Yap
