THE SPINE OF NIGHT is one of the best film surprises of the year. A throwback to the days of feature-length adult animated fare by the likes of Ralph Bakshi; this hyper-violent and deeply meditative fantasy saga is a love letter to classic rotoscope animation and pulp adventure stories that will be cherished by anyone who is open to its strange and macabre sensibilities.

The film is also the result of a nearly decade-long collaboration between animator Morgan Galen King and writer Philip Gelatt (Netflix’s LOVE, DEATH, & ROBOTS). I had the pleasure of speaking with the pair in the days leading up to the film’s release and I took the opportunity to ask them all about the origins and hard work that led to the stellar achievement that is THE SPINE OF NIGHT!
