Review: Junk Head

It's not every day that you encounter that took 7 ears to make and is literally a one-man show. Yes, every aspect was made by one person.

Of all the type of films for one person, it had to be stop-motion animation, the style of filmmaking that takes the longest to create.

This achievement alone has to be commended and thankfully the film is as crazy.

The setting is very impressive, the character design is inventive and almost child-like and the general creativity makes it a really fun watch.
It actually reminded me of watching Rex The Runt mixed in with In The Night Garden.

It's not for everyone that's for sure. Some demographics will just see this as total nonsense. But if you open yourself up to this, you can find a fun narrative with engaging characters that you just can't help to be invested with.

The ending is abrupt as I felt it wasn't va complete story. But after reading afterwards, that creator Takahide Hori is tending to make this a trilogy.
With that being said, I will give it the benefit of the doubt. I also fear if it making the second and third installments will take the same time to create. If so, we may have to wait a while before we see the conclusion of this mad story.

For now, I hope you can check this out. It needs to be experienced mainly to show what can be done by one person.
It's an impressive piece of work that you can't help but get sucked into and enjoy.

Rating: 8/10
