"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.

    You did it wrong. It is a giant music video. There is no real point. I went to a hipster theater where everyone was some kinda high and the showing was wild. There was like four jock guys confused and freaking out. It was a great time

      I didn't care for the movie but this does sound fun. Probably more impressive on the big screen in general.

        Just in general it actually kinda based. Strong clear anti war mesage, positive depiction of female masturbation, plus the animation was fun and it was nice to see some master class mixed media stop motion.

          The visuals were so impressive I really wanted to like it. I think just even a little more plot or point would have sealed the deal for me idk. I think you're right that this probably wasn't meant to be watched by yourself in a dark room.

            Not sober, but not too high either. Just medium.
