The wonderful thing about animation is that it can be used to tell any kind of story. Too often, we deem animated films as somehow lesser than or relegate them to being just for kids even some of the most creative and inspiring films of late are animated. Into the Spider-Verse, Flee, Mad God, and last year’s Flow, to name a few of the stunningly creative works brought to life by animation. This year, they are joined by Dog of God–although taste levels might determine how well the film matches the laurels of its contemporaries.
Latvian directors Raitis Abele and Lauris Abele use animation to bring to life a weird, wild, and horrific story about a young woman accused of witchcraft by a corrupt priest, and the self-proclaimed werewolf who arrives to observe and protect. He brings with him the severed testicles of the devil himself. Yes, this movie is dark and weird, and it’s going to be either directly up your alley or very much not.
