10 Even More Insane Over The Top Horror Movies
1. Mad God
After watching Mad God, it's easy to understand why it took nearly 30 years to bring to life. Phil Tippett's monstrous labor of love is often considered uncategorisable (but that's because "stop-motion dystopian sci-fi dark fantasy" is a bit of a mouthful).
The experimental extravaganza opens with an assassin venturing into a fetid world consumed by sludgy machinery, tumour-covered monsters, and faceless drones. Every creature and object is enveloped with so much ugliness, this place feels like it was born from a malformed universe.
As nightmarish as this prologue is, it only gets worse. Jewellery is surgically removed from the protagonist's body in an elaborate dissection scene. Wispy humanoids are debased and defecated on by a deformed, breasted creature. A televised mouth screams at his slaves in baby babble. And to add to the incomprehensibility, this 83-minute fever dream doesn't contain a word of dialogue.
Despite being rammed with grotesqueries, it's impossible to look away due to the amount of thought and effort Tippett's team put into every single frame. It may be gross, but Mad God is also a thing of unparalleled beauty... but it's mostly gross.
