Splinter and The fall

These are two movies I've watched in the past day whilst animating, both very different but very good in their own ways.

Splinter is a body horror with several 'The Thing' homages and a generally creepy vibe. It takes a while to get going with many trappings and cliches of your typical horror movie but once it does... hehehehe, has some thoughtful twists.



The Fall, I wasn't into at first because again its a slow starter but once it kicks off, the piece is remniscent of pans labyrinth mixed with the league of extraordinary gentlemen. Lots of colour saturated visuals, landscapes and set pieces and general clever story telling.
