The Spine of Night

Philip GELLAT / Morgan Galen KING

USA202194min Asian Premiere

Synopsis

An ultra-violent fantasy that follows a group of heroes from different eras and cultures band together in order to save humanity from a sinister dark magic. This hand-rotoscoped epic is inspired by the cult classic works of artists like Ralph Bakshi and Frank Frazetta; and the fantasy genre as it was in the 1970s: boundary-pushing, politically progressive, and utterly fearless.
