The Side View is this intriguing little animation from '85, with a strangely haunting tone. It follows a young boy who thinks he witnesses a murder while on a car trip with his parents. The pacing is unique, slow yet engaging, allowing the tension to build in a subtle way. The animation style is distinct, with a slightly surreal quality that enhances the eerie atmosphere. The themes of innocence and the blurred lines between reality and imagination play out beautifully. It's not often you see a kid's perspective on something so dark, which makes it stand out among its contemporaries. Practical effects are minimal but effectively lend to the unsettling vibe of the narrative.
