Firstborn complex

About This Movie

Firstborn Complex is a curious piece, really. It's this unnerving puppet show that feels like Lynch dropped a hand in the animation pot. The atmosphere? Dark and surreal, almost unsettling at times. You know, the kind of vibe that creeps under your skin. The story follows a young nobleman, who's consumed by jealousy over his brother; it's a twisted tale of sibling rivalry that hits all the right notes. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but that just adds to its off-kilter charm. The practical effects used for the puppets are striking, making those eerie characters all the more memorable. It's definitely not your run-of-the-mill animation, and that's what sets it apart.
