Human

About This Movie

Human (2017) dives into a rather unsettling realm of animation, exploring themes of autonomy and revenge through the unsettling lens of lab animals. It's got this gritty, raw vibe that feels almost avant-garde, with a pacing that swings from eerie slow moments to sudden bursts of chaotic energy. The practical effects are particularly noteworthy—they really ground the bizarre narrative in a sort of visceral reality that’s hard to shake off. There's an unsettling beauty in the animation style that contrasts sharply with its darker themes. It's not your typical animated fare, kind of leaves you pondering long after it ends, which is what makes it stand out in the genre. Definitely a conversation starter among fellow collectors.
