Dam Dog

Hey, want a surreal movie around 30 years in the making?

We open with an excerpt from Leviticus, about god making a city a ruin... is this that city? We have an assassin going down into a place of cheap death and short nasty lifes, and attempting to do something about it. But not a lot. And he's not the only one as we see some other attempts, but the baby inside him is useful for creating monoliths and...

No, I have no idea what's going on. At least, in a metaphorical sense. I can see what's happening on screen, with various creatures moving about, but what it ultimately means, I can't really say.

This is a stop motion movie from Phil Tippert that was started a long time ago, put on hold, then brought back and successfully Kickstartered (and yes, there are Kickstarter backers). This took a long time, but... it's still very cohesive in style and story (such as one can follow it).

It's on Shudder, so you could also check out other horror movies, but yes, note that this movie does go into the gross and gory often and hard.
