Phil Tippett has been an integral part all your favourite movies. Contributing his unique visual effects talents to everything from Return of the Jedi, to Robocop, to Jurassic Park. With Mad God, a passion project thirty years in the making, Tippett reached into your brain when you were sick with the flu that time, and animated all those terrifying nightmares you had.Mad God is a gobsmacking display of talent and brain fever that left me almost speechless. Dialogue and plot be damned! Mad God has neither! Instead, it is a collection of grotesque images and ugly nihilism. Characters hack lumps off each other and descend ever deeper into a horrific and unexplained netherworld.
Blending animated sequences with deliberate, stuttering live action, it’s impossible to tell where one ends and the other begins. It’s not hard to see why the head spinning intricacy of the set design and the crazed imagination in the creature’s forms took Tippett’s deranged genius three decades to compile.
