10 Horror Movies Where Nobody Wins

Oh, you thought I was done with pretentious metaphors?

Mad God is a brilliant, disgusting, terrifying work of art that took years to make and is seriously underrated. Created by master puppeteer Phil Tippet, the film vaguely explores the idea presented in the title: what if we lived in a world that was created by something truly insane?

We watch as various characters try to fix, overcome or understand the fleshy and industrial world around them, only to be met with progressively weirder and nastier fates. There’s a particularly nasty scene that feels like something from House of 1000 Corpses on steroids involving a surgeon and a weird larvae baby. This film really isn’t like anything you’ve seen before.

Similarly to Mother!, it ends with a beginning, as a clock literally rewinds before our eyes as if to imply this story has been told millions, if not billions of times. Meaning, all of the bizarre and gross things we have just witnessed may repeat for all of time.

And, given how unpleasant this world is, that sounds like an absolute nightmare.
