Creatures

About This Movie

So, 'Creatures' is this intriguing little gem from '86, crafted by Dave Borthwick using stop-motion techniques. The animation style has this raw, almost tactile quality, which gives it a distinct vibe that feels both whimsical and slightly unsettling. It's got a dreamlike atmosphere that ebbs and flows, with pacing that can feel a bit disjointed at times—but that just adds to its charm. The creatures themselves are imaginatively designed, often evoking a sense of curiosity and unease. There's a strong thematic undercurrent exploring the unknown and the bizarre, which resonates throughout the film. It’s not your typical animated fare, and it often lingers in your mind long after it ends, leaving you with more questions than answers.
