The Ogre

About This Movie

The Ogre is an interesting blend of animation and horror, with a unique visual style that captures the grim atmosphere of its source material. Márcio Júnior does a commendable job adapting the work of Rodrigues and Shimamoto, both legends in Brazilian comics. The dark forest backdrop and the decaying castle create a chilling setting, while the creature design strikes a balance between grotesque and compelling. The pacing is deliberate, allowing tension to build slowly, which might not be for everyone, but it fits the eerie vibe they were going for. It doesn't shy away from some heavier themes, diving into the fears and monstrosities that lurk in the shadows of both the forest and human nature.

Released in 2011, runtime approximately 90 min.Features hand-drawn animation with a distinct style.Based on the horror comic by Antonio Rodrigues.Notable for its atmospheric sound design.
