What to say about Takahide Tori's Junk Head? It's a passion project seven years in the making, merging the aesthetics of Giger and Nihei's Blame to create one of the most impressive stop-motion projects I've ever come across. My expectations were sky-high going into this film, but Hori delivers. The designs are stupendous, the camera work is amazing, and the setting is right up my ally. It's a sprawling adventure that houses surprises around every corner, an absolute must-see for fans of stop-motion and sci-fi.
