The Spine Of Night Trailer: An Animated Movie That Looks Like Your Greatest ’80s Nightmares

People like Ralph Bakshi and Frank Franzetta left a very specific visual imprint in the realm of fantasy art and storytelling, and now a new project has come along which takes the baton from those veterans and carries it a few steps further in the race. I’m not confident that rotoscoped projects have a vibrant future ahead of them (they are extremely work-intensive), but the style isn’t fully dead yet, and “The Spine of Night” is going to make damn sure everyone knows it by leaning hard into hyper-violence and psychedelic imagery. Check out the full red-band trailer for the movie below.

Not only is this thing absolutely dripping with style (not to mention all of that blood), but the cast is outstanding as well: it stars Richard E. Grant (“Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker”), Lucy Lawless (“Xena: Warrior Princess,” “Spartacus”), Patton Oswalt (“Dude Bro Party Massacre III”), Betty Gabriel (“Get Out”), Joe Manganiello (“Justice League,” “Magic Mike”), Abby Savage (“Orange is the New Black”), Larry Fessenden (“The Dead Don’t Die”), and Rob McClure (“The Good Fight”).
“The Spine of Night” will arrive in theaters and be available On Demand and on digital platforms starting October 29, 2021.
