This is one of the most terrifying films you will see all year. The film is an animated telling of Goya painting the dark paintings known as the Black Paintings, which are full of beasties and terrible things, The tale is recounted by the house where Goya painted the iages.
I have no notes. This is just a chilling film about a decent into madness and return that scared the snot out of me. This is the story of a man lost in his head who has to paint to get the darkness out. I was chilled.
Told with shifting styles the images mirror Goya's art, with even the "real" world looking Goya-esque. Watching the f.ilm my jaw hung open, rarely have I ever seen a short, much less one that isn't nominally a horror one, be so scary
I fear for what would ever happen if director James Castillo ever made a full length horror film, we may not survive.
One of the best films at Tribeca and detined to be on my year end lists, it is highly recommended.
