    Schrödinger's humanization. The consequence of animating an animal film so well that they look realistic and expressive at the same time, like some kind of black magic.

    To be honest, I didn't know what to expect from Flow. Thankfully, it played on my anxiety, tension and paranoia with a melancholic sadness in such a good way. It's a wrinkle in the heart and proof that you can make an amazing story without a single line of unnecessary dialogue.

    It's not that black cats are bad luck, it's that the uncertainty of the world plays with them, and also with us.

    ‘Nonsense’, ‘disrespectful’ and ‘meaningless’ are understatements....

    Yep, the 80's... It was so absurd that was funny. Crazy end, tho.

    I was aware that horror in those years was very slasher, but I was hoping that it would have a darker feel to it. Still, damn Freddy. He's a walking meme. One more star because it was fun.
