The movie acquired acclaim when it debuted on the 2021 South by Southwest movie competition for its stylized animation and spectacular voice forged. (Being fairly dang violent additionally didn’t damage.) Thankfully, it’s obtained a distributor and might be launched in theaters by RLJE Films later this month. If you wish to keep protected, don’t worry: it’s additionally hitting identical day digital HD and on demand.
Written and directed by Morgan Galen King and Philip Gelatt, the movie sees Tzod, a witch voiced by Lucy Lawless, discover an historic flower on prime of a snowy mountain. Described because the “last light of the gods,” the flower has unbelievable energy, and its Guardian (Richard E. Grant) will kill anybody dumb sufficient to make a play for it. Instead of violence, although, Tzod regales the keeper of the flower along with her life story, which additionally spans completely different generations, heroes, and villains.
There’s a lot happening within the trailer above, and all of it seems fairly putting.
