‘The Spine Of Night’ Is Blood-Soaked Animated Eye Candy [SXSW Review]
The simplest description of “The Spine of Night” is “a 1980s heavy metal album cover come to graphic life.” Barbarian shamans, petty despots, noble knight sages, craven knaves, megalomaniacal necromancers, blood, guts, and a parade of naked flesh are all given a spark of spontaneity by hand-rotoscoped animation to emphasize jaw-dropping over the top violence instead of blunting it.
