Black Soul

About This Movie

Black Soul is quite an intriguing piece. It blends animation with a historical narrative set in the colonial period, which isn’t something you see every day. The story revolves around an administrator who, after snagging a flywhisk and some artifacts that don't quite belong to him, finds himself on the run from a vengeful village shaman's spirit. The pacing is a bit unconventional, allowing for an immersive dive into the atmosphere of colonial guilt and spiritual retribution. The animation style has a unique flair, with a slightly gritty texture that complements the darker themes. It creates a palpable tension that grows throughout, thanks to its haunting visuals and the eerie score that underscores the protagonist's dread. Definitely has a distinctive edge to it that sticks with you.
