Ratings and reviews

I am entirely convinced the majority of the 1-star reviews missed the point of this being an homage to classic rotoscoped fantasy movies and their artists/animators like Bakshi and Frazetta. This isn't meant to be a bleeding edge animation from 2021, it's meant to be a bleeding edge animation from 1982 or thereabouts. In that regard, it succeeds, and handily, certainly more than Heavy Metal 2000 did when it tried its hand.

You will likely find this to be a "weirdo" movie if youre not invested in the occult. A simple movie with average moral/ethical elements attached. I.e. lust of, greed, corruption of power. By far, BEST animated occult flick.

This too weirdo and need fix it better on scene and this more look like 1980 than 21
