Mattricide

About This Movie

Mattricide is a quirky little gem that stands out in the animation genre. This stop motion film cleverly combines dark humor with a biting social commentary on urban decay and fly-tipping. The pacing is a bit offbeat, which actually enhances the tension, giving it that eerie vibe reminiscent of those classic Hitchcock thrillers. The use of practical effects is just delightful—who knew mattresses could be so menacing? And the performances, albeit animated, carry a distinct charm that pulls you into the absurdity of the narrative. It’s definitely a unique twist on the traditional thriller, and I appreciate how it’s not afraid to tackle such an unusual subject matter. A real conversation starter, for sure.
