An Intro
In 2012, a film by the name of "Where the Dead go to die" was released by the now infamous artist "Jimmy ScreamerClawz."
Thats his monacare, not mine.
ANYWHO, Jimbo ScreamyCause posts this movie that he made in 3D (Specifically using Maya), and immedietly people fucking hate it.
You see, Where the Dead go to Die isnt a... normal movie. You see, it comes from the twisted and fucked up sensibilities of one man. Its so fucked up and edgy that it
contains child murder and gore and rape and dog sex and its so fucking cool guys you just have to watch the movie please just watch the movie
So yeah. super edgy movie comes out, and people hated it. Like, there was obviously a fanbase (and there still is. I will touch on that in a bit), people overall either have never heard of this film, or DESPISE it. Hence why its here, being reviewed by some 20 year old at 2 AM.
What is WTDGTD
To stop being ironic for a second, Where the dead go to die is a psychological horror... comedy? film, directed, written, and mostly animated by Jimmy ScreamerClawz. Its an anthology film following 3 kids (Tommy, Ralph, and Sophia) being stalked by a dog called "Labby."
Labby, is a demon. You can tell this because he had red glowing evil eyes. Each kid gets their own part, or "chapter," as is flavored by the movie. Well, Tommy gets his own part. Ralph and Sophia are shoved into part 3, leaving part two with the best character: "The Man."
That is his cannonical name. We do not learn his name.
By now, you probally get a jist of what we are in store for. An edge fest. And while that is true for some parts, the movie does have some decent bits I will be going over later. With that being said, I think its time to get into the review (god im bad at segways).
Tainted Milk
ANYWHO... Part 1, titled "Tainted Milk," follows Tommy. Tommy is approached by Labby. Labby whispers into Tommy's ear how he should be a good christian, and that he should kill his unborn sibling because they are the antichrist.
Tommy, being like... 7 or 8 or something, does so. Only he doesnt because he is a child. Because this is an edgy horror movie that prides itself on how risque it is, decides to kill off the baby anyways.
Immedietly, I want to draw attemntion to the voice acting. Now, Im not going to fault the voice acting and the animation in this thing too too much, because this was an amatuer production done in 2012. For the most part, its excuseable. The thing I cannot excuse, however, is Labby's voice. I cannot make out a god damn thing that slobbermouthed chainsmoker utters into this world. Its so incomprehensible. By the way, Labby is the main antagonist. That means, you will be hearing him slobber. A Lot.
The other thing I want to discuss is the visuals. Now again, if you are planning to watch this film, this is an amatuer product. Made in 2012. By presumadabley one dude. I say this because to most people, the art style of the film sucks. And while there are genuine critiquies I can give, I do feel like Ive been shitting on this thing for a bit, so I want to talk positively about it, because I do actually think the visuals are good.
NOW DONT GET ME WRONG: A lot of the models are either extremely amatuer (Labby, for example), or are gotten from asset stores, yes. A lot of the animations are extremely janky, yes. Yes those are both true, but I honestly think that it works in the films favor. Jimmy is attempting to set up this surreal vibe, and god damn does the jankiness of this film kind of sell that. The stiff animation, combined with the mishmash of different assets and subpar
voice acting make for a genuenly mind fuckey experience. Was it intended? Kindaaaa, but who cares. Movie gets a pass in that regards.
Ok, story time. Where we last left off, Labby decides to do the deed himself of killing a fetus. How does he kill the fetus? By having Labby commit cunnilingus on Tommy's mom, chomping on the baby, and promptly ripping it from the mom. Labby then NOT ONLY FUCKING YEETS THE BABY ACROSS THE ROOM, BUT GRABS THE DADS DICK, AND GIVES IT THE OL TUG OF DEATH.
This is, by far, my favorite scene in the movie, soely due to its absurdity and the janky animation. Me and my friend darny, who was watching this with me, were laughing hysterically during this scene. Its so fucking bizarre and gruesome out of nowhere, you just cant help but enjoy the scene. Good job movie. You had us laugh, maybe it was unintentional, but who cares.
To continue the comedy, the genius that is Jimblar SchemerClause decides that his evil and fucked up mind will show us some evil and fucked up things because its so fucking funny and evil to show evil and fucked up funny things. And do you know whats evil and fucked up? A kid having sex with a dog.
Evil and Fucked up
HEY REMEMBER THOSE TRIGGER WARNINGS I WAS TALKING ABOUT? YEAH. I WASNT JOKING.
In all seriousness, there is a scene in this movie where a kid has sex with a dog. Is it graphic? I mean its poorly animated and I skipped past all of it because Im not a sicko so no, not that I can tell, but still. Either way, I do want to just state the obvious, but a scene like this is not okay, especially for laughs.
I get wanting to be edgy and stuff, but GOD. DID YOU HAVE TO FUCKING PUT THAT IN? Like I get the dick ripping scene, that was absurd. That caught me off gaurd. I will give that to you, but a. show some restraint, and b. DONT HAVE A MINOR HAVE SEX WITH A DOG.
I know I shouldnt linger on this scene for too much longer, but oddly enough this is where one of my biggest problems with the movie lie: its inability to tell when enough is enough. I want to put a pin in this because... I dont want to talk more about this scene unless I absolutely have to.
