Happy early Halloween 🎃
This Netflix movie starrs Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele, Angela Bassett, just to name a few
This movie was directed by Henry Selick (“Caroline”). It was written by Jordan Peele and Henry Schlick.
This movie was released on October 28th 2022 on Netflix. I was rated PG-13 for thematic material, violence, substance use and brief strong language and Sex/Nudity and Frightening imagery.
This movie is an Animation/Adventure/Horror/Fantasy/Family/Comedy stop-motion movie.
This movie debuted at the “Toronto International Film Festival back on September 11th 2022.
Onto the premise: Two scheming demon brothers, Wendell and Wild, enlist the aid of 13-year-old Kat Elliot to summon them to the Land of the Living.
Jordan and Henry did it again, once again!!!
This movie is based off an unpublished book by Henry Selick and Clay McLeod Chapman, the movie is also produced by Jordan Peele.
The voice acting in the movie is good, like Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele as the two demons Wendell and Wild. The two demons were animated well, and they had funny dialogue that could be funny in a normal way or a dark way.
I love the animation; the movie is a mix of CGI and stop-motion that looks well done. The sets, the characters, and the backgrounds look great and fit the tone of the movie.
The characters and the demons are interesting, along with the dark things they do looking cool in this animation style.
The music in this feels like the movie Coraline (2009) and The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), which makes sense because it is by the same director. The demon world looks creative, and the demons have unique and interesting designs.
Overall I really really liked this movie.
Stop-motion fans and fans of Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele will like this movie, while also liking it for its dark tone, dark humor, and the directions it will take…
This movie was definitely worth a watch and I love the fact that it fits the Halloween season!
Stay tuned for more reviews!
