We Are the Strange
Two outcasts fight for survival in a sinister fantasy world. Their lives are constantly in jeopardy after they're caught in the middle of a deadly battle between bizarre monsters on their way to the ice cream shop.
Why it matters
A fever dream of DIY animation and surreal nightmare logic that twists fantasy and horror into a unique visual odyssey.
- Pioneering mix of stop-motion, 3D animation, and rotoscope that predates the current indie animation boom.
- A cult artifact for fans of experimental, boundary-pushing horror storytelling outside mainstream narrative comfort zones.
- Feels like a midnight midnight-movie cousin to David Lynch’s uncanny worlds and early Jan Švankmajer surrealism.
- Not for narrative purists—its fractured, hallucinatory style demands patience and a taste for the bizarre.
