    Great film

    This animated film is a masterpiece. I watched the film itself and it's well made. The film's plot is great. Also, this animated film is great. The soundtrack is actually great. The voice acting is well done. Also, this animated film is one of my favorites. I like this film. Also, i like Jimmy ScreamerClauz's newer films. The visuals are well done actually. This film has plenty of great kills and splatter throughout. Also, the film's atmosphere is fitting for an animated psychedelic horror film. The trademark animation is great and i like it. Also, the hallucinogenic imagery fits for this animated psychedelic horror film.

    20th generation goth whines about religion or something.

    This might get a 5 star review had it been made by some art school goths in 1982. but now? no.

    "poorly made" is being nice. all of this "symbolism" is grade school stuff done a thousand times before... so don't waste your time here. just go watch any semi-arty film prior to 1999. or better yet, pour gasoline in your eye.

    Sunday School on Acid

    Albeit not nearly as disturbing as "where the dead go to die" this one is a solid work full of black humor, hallucinogenic imagery and religious parallels. The voice acting is far superior to its predecessor, sounding much like any major production whereas I felt wtdgtd definitely fell short. Soundtrack is very well done creating an excellent atmosphere for the trippy visuals. Gore and shock value seemed a bit toned down, but none the less still has plenty of good kills and splatter throughout. Sexual imagery is prevalent within the film although the male characters are equipped the equivalence of a Ken doll, which makes for some awkward sex scenes. The trademark animation seems to be improved on with less glitchy movement and flowed smoother altogether. The story struck me as an exaggerated jab at religion with sacrilegious themes. I enjoyed this movie and look forward to seeing what's next from Mr. Screamerclauz.

    Very confusing acid trip

    I don't understand this movie it's like this guy had a really bad acid trip in 2010 came back to himself a whole two years later thought hey lets make my trip into a movie took even more acid went into a coma and 4 years later came out of it and all his team was like basically brain dead from all the acid they had to take to make it so they subbed in crack, and finally after naming it when black birds fly because why not that's the only understandable thing in this whole movie then after like at least a dozen people basically wanted to die after watching it they couldn't make it to theaters and just decided to release it to some second hand stream site that doesn't have anything good from the last decade
