The movie

In this ultra-violent, retro-style animated epic – boasting an all-star voice cast – an ancient black magic falls into the wrong hands and unleashes centuries of suffering upon mankind.

From the primordial swamps to the steampunk future, a group of heroes spread out through time and hailing from various cultures must unite to fight an ancient evil. This sprawling story makes barbarians, wizards, gods, and demons clash in the dance of war; axes and swords slash through the air, and decapitated heads fly high above the melee. A true love letter to the animation style of Heavy Metal and Fire and Ice, The Spine of Night is a fantastic, ambitious, and insanely brutal anthology movie. High concept and primal violence – a paradoxical match made in heaven.
