Ranking Every Episode From Love, Death And Robots
9. The Secret War
Potentially the most attractive looking short in the collection, The Secret War follows Russian soldiers during World War II as they fight for survival against evil creatures summoned by dark magic. It is heavily action oriented but also manages to give strong characterisation in a short amount of time.
The creatures themselves are wendigo like monsters that can fly through the trees and dismember the soldiers with ease. The way they swarm the Russian men is terrifying and creates a decent amount of tension while watching the action unfold on the screen. The action is thrilling and the fear generated from the demonic foes is easily felt.
The last short in the season looks amazing with hyper realistic graphics and gorgeous scenery to go with it. Although it lacks a deep narrative or much wit, of all the action heavy shorts, this is easily the best and feels like a good way to end the collection.
