The Slaying is this curious mix of live action and stop-motion that really plays with the viewer’s expectations. It's got a raw, gritty feel—the kind that only 16mm can deliver. The animation is surprisingly fluid, and the transitions between mediums are jarring yet oddly captivating. There's a dark humor woven throughout, with a pacing that keeps you on your toes, never quite knowing where it's headed next. The practical effects are a highlight, giving it a tactile quality that’s hard to replicate. It’s not polished, but that’s part of its charm, I guess. It dives into themes of mortality and the absurdity of life, all wrapped up in this bizarre visual style that just sticks with you.
