Why watch this film?
This animation is made for fans of epic fantasy, with a classic 'Conan the Barbarian' vibe. It's a tale of magic with a dose of tragedy and ultraviolence. The story was written and directed by Philip Gelatt and Morgan Galen King. It's worth noting that this isn't a movie suitable for children. The animation techniques are incredible, and 'The Spine of Night' has first-class cinematography. Usually, more brutal productions have a rougher aesthetic, but that's not the case with this film. Finally, it's worth mentioning that the original voice cast includes names like Lucy Lawless (the eternal Xena), Richard E. Grant ('Gosford Park Murder'), Joe Manganiello ('Zack Snyder's Justice League') and Patton Oswalt ('Young Adults'), among others.
