The Pride of Strathmoor

About This Movie

The Pride of Strathmoor is a curious blend of animation and horror, set in the oppressive backdrop of 1927 Georgia. The hand-drawn style gives it a unique, almost haunting texture that enhances the unsettling narrative. It's based around the diaries of Pastor John Deitman, whose obsessive persecution of the local black community spirals into a chilling descent into madness. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the atmosphere to thicken with each entry. There's a rawness in the animation that contrasts sharply with the horrific themes, making it stand out in the animation genre. It's not your typical horror flick, really. The performances, though animated, have a depth that evokes real emotional responses, which is quite a feat.
