Flytrap

About This Movie

So, 'Flytrap' is a pretty fascinating piece, particularly if you're into animation that dives deep into psychological territory. The whole vibe is reminiscent of Edgar Allan Poe, which is certainly a unique touch. The pacing can feel a bit frantic, matching Charles’ escalating frustration with his messy roommate and the university’s apathy to it all. It’s this stream-of-consciousness storytelling that really pulls you in, making you question what the real mess is—both literally and metaphorically. The practical effects are interesting, adding to that surreal atmosphere. I found the voice-over to be chilling and oddly captivating, which really sets it apart in the animation genre. It's not your typical animated fare, that’s for sure.
