The Wolf of Snow Hollow (2020)
Perfect
This is the best American horror comedy ever made. Jim Cummings did an outstanding job writing, directing, and starring in this film. There is not a single flaw in any of the performances in this movie. This movie flows perfectly. The pacing is spot on. The dialogue is so well written, every character feels and speaks as though they are real which is immensely hard to pull off and rare to find in American films. There is a huge variety of scenes and sets that are shown and all of them are flawless. The special effects are amazing, and what little action there is in this movie is fast, shocking, gritty and realistic.
This movie will likely not be enjoyable for the average American viewer. The main character is acted as and feels like a real human being, yet he is a symbol of masculinity struggling with protecting his loved ones according to his ideals while balancing the stress of shouldering all of his burdens. If you are a fan of asian films and can appreciate more symbolic acting mixed in with the realism that is displayed in movies such as "Oldboy" or "The Wailing", or you enjoyed similar films such as "Midsommar" or "Hereditary", then you will likely appreciate and enjoy this movie.
"The Wolf of Snow Hollow" is a masterfully done horror/comedy. 10/10.
The Spine of Night (2021)
Immensely disappointed
The animation is absolutely amazing and the backgrounds are beautiful. I saw Gorgonaut's EXORDIUM animation 7 years prior to the release of this film and absolutely loved it. However, the terrible voice acting, poorly written dialouge, and god awful sound track were forgivable in that eight minute animation.
This film is an absolute slog of eye-rollingly awful dialouge, worse than porn quality voice acting, laughable choreagraphy, and a juvenile stereotypical plot. The low budget shows and it is shameful. I was immensely excited for this film and ended up really regretting buying and viewing it. The animator is so talented and I wish that they had a massive budget to support the making of this film because there was so much potential for this to be great, and yet the hour and a half I spent watching it felt like quintuple that amount of time because this was so painful to sit through.
There are also incredibly jarring art style choices that felt very strange. There are steam punk and almost sci-fi aspects later on in the movie that feel very out of place. Some of the weapons are comically oversized or oddly shaped for no apparent reason. Very often there will be characters who are fully nude in environments where they would die within an hour due to hypothermia and things such as.
I would recommend that you watch EXORDIUM before purchasing or veiwing this film. If you enjoy it then imagine EXORDIUM but everything about it is ten times worse except for the animation and it is twelve times the length of EXORDIUM, that is what this movie is.
I wish the animator the best but all of the actors excluding Richard E. Grant ruined this movie.
