Ogar - the Ugly

About This Movie

Ogar - the Ugly is a curious blend of comedy, fantasy, and horror from 1981 that captures a peculiar, offbeat atmosphere. The story revolves around Ogar, a dwarf living in isolation, with a compelling mix of dark humor and oddball charm. The pacing is somewhat uneven, but that adds to its quirky allure. The practical effects, particularly for the creature design, are fascinatingly low-budget, which gives the film a raw, authentic feel. Performances vary, but the cast leans into the absurdity of the narrative. Themes of abandonment and redemption weave through the plot, creating a surprisingly poignant undertone. It’s definitely one of those films that sticks with you, for better or worse, and stands out in its niche.
