Descend into unimaginable depths and get ready to meet your maker, Mad God – a gorgeously gruesome cinematic frenzy that deserves every ounce of praise it receives. Mad God is a film that is easy to recommend since it has something for everyone: it is a stop motion animation; an ambitious personal project over thirty years in the making; a gross horror film; a shining example of pure visual storytelling; a particularly squelchy take on dystopia; and rich with damning anti-capitalist themes.The use of scale illustrates the power dynamics of this world, where the big can easily and carelessly crush the small.

The highlight of the extras is the commentary with Tippett and filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro ( Pan’s Labyrinth, The Shape of Water).

P. Lovecraft, Ralph Bakshi, Jim Henson, Pieter Bruegel, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Hieronymus Bosch, Terry Gilliam, Stanley Kubrick, even Bob Dylan, all of it fed like steaming meat though the grinder of Tippett’s unique creative sensibilities.

Phil produced dozens of environments and hundreds of puppets for the project, filling notebook after notebook with thousands of detailed sketches and storyboards.A figure known as "The Assasin" as descends from the heavens into a nightmarish pit full of monsters, titans and cruelty. Del Toro also pokes and prods the director, working to understand the philosophical aspects of the film and Phil Tippett’s mindset.
