Chuck Steel: Night of the Trampires review (Patreon)

This is a stop motion animated film, and a damn fluid one at that. The animation is beyond spectacular and never feels clunky. It also plays close attention to detail, like the constant flowing candlewax in the Wise One's face, and considering each trampire dies by a very gory explosion you can really feel the level of effort it went into making this.

Plotwise this is a pastiche of 80's action flicks, never taking itself too seriously and constantly poking fun at the tropes of the genre. Where I think the humor falls a bit is the anti-therapy message; take it as you will.

The monster designs are fantastic. You'd expect this film to just be populated by bum vampires, but there are quite a few surprises with stellar designs.

Overall a flawed product, but clearly a labour of love.
