"Mad God" is just the latest version of this. No, it isn't artistic to show abject horror and depressing sadness on screen. People are just getting off from sadism and adrenaline and claiming it's some transcendent experience.
I'm not going to judge anyone who enjoys movies like it, because I can see the appeal, but if I see another critic say another piece of edgy garbage is actually an artistic masterpiece I'm going to tear my brain out through my earhole.
not to be that bitch but googling it and just looking at stills that looks incredibly technically impressive for Stop Motion
you're allowed to just not like things that are good
It is, but thats because it was made by a talented vfx veteran. It also happens to be incoherent and needlessly grotesque. It could have been awesome if it had an actual story, but it didn't. So that great stop motion feels wasted and the viewer is desperate to piece together some horrific scenes (such as a crying hair lump monster baby that cries for 3 minutes straight) in a search for meaning. It's really clear that the director has never directed before and that he belongs in vfx not feature filmmaking.
yeah, but taking something that Looks Like That and saying "it's shit because the narrative isn't constructed satisfyingly" isn't exactly riveting artistic critique either.
also OP's problem doesn't appear to be with narrative construction but with general violence/gore/darkness which is silly as hell to me
finding gore distressing to watch isn't silly and is a perfectly reasonable opinion implying people only watch horror movies because they are sadists is a bit of an unwaranted personal attack on fans of the movie however
