Deprive

About This Movie

Deprive is an intriguing blend of animation and science fiction that dives into the chaos of an alien invasion. The atmosphere is thick with tension, as robotic foot soldiers wreak havoc on a city, capturing innocent people—most notably a young girl. The narrative weaves in a damaged android that clings to a locket, adding a layer of emotional depth. There's this human character endowed with superhuman abilities, and his battles against waves of robots are frenetic yet compelling. The pacing keeps you engaged, even if the animation isn’t the most polished. The film stands out for its unique story and practical effects that have a certain charm. It’s a curious watch for those who appreciate the quirks of 80s sci-fi animation.

Deprive is a rare gem from the late 80s that many collectors seek due to its limited release and distinctive aesthetic. It was originally distributed in a few formats, but the VHS and early DVD editions are particularly scarce, catching the eye of those searching for unique animation. The film often flies under the radar, but its blend of themes and visual style has garnered a niche following, making it a conversation starter in any collection.
