This was a cool animated feature not too long or short with a great story and cool characters enjoyed it.
Love it overall, minus the ending. It's not terrible, but it also doesn't give us much closure for anyone outside of Bird Boy. The entire film is a beautifully animated tale of battling your inner and outer monsters, and with plenty of dark visuals and even horrific ones on top of the angsty feel of the post-apocalyptic setting. This and The Spine of Night make me want more adult animated films from Shudder.
