Given this was a very rare occasion where the Shudder Xbox app actually decided to work, I watched Phil Tippett's Mad God, which is one of those films designed to be impossible to review. From a technical and visual perspective it's a remarkable achievement, but it's also something where it's very much left open to your own interpretation, which is the polite way of saying it makes no sense. The first half has a basic narrative, but the second is basically just a series of individual scenes. It is also so unremittingly depressing that it can seem like a bit of a slog, and even at less than 90 feels a bit too long. One of those things you know if you'll like or not just from seeing the synopsis.
