Under the Apple Tree

About This Movie

So, 'Under the Apple Tree' is this wild mix of animation, comedy, and horror that kind of sneaks up on you. The story kicks off with a farmer who’s not really gone, thanks to some rather cheeky worms. The animation style has this gritty, almost dark charm that fits the macabre humor quite well. It doesn't take itself too seriously, which is refreshing, yet there’s this underlying tension—especially with the brother-vicar dynamic. You get a sense of twisted family ties and the absurdity of death. The pacing keeps things lively, bouncing between laughs and the grotesque. It's distinct with its take on afterlife themes and those practical effects give the worms a personality that’s oddly endearing. Definitely a curious watch for collectors looking to explore the unusual.
