Undergods - DVD

Undergods (2021) A darkly entertaining, otherworldly journey through a Europe in decline, Undergods is a collection of fantasy tales about a series of ill-fated men who see their worlds fall apart through a visit from an unexpected stranger. With an original, spacey synth score featuring 1980s electronic tracks and a distinctive ensemble pan European cast, this ambitious debut feature blends the particular supernatural taste of anthology 1980s films like Twilight Zone and Creepshow, the visual flair of 1970s sci-fi epics like Rollerball and Stalker and the touch of European arthouse sensibility and humor of Holy Motors. As our world descends into chaos and isolation, this cautionary tale about self-centered consumerist societies and a collapsed, dilapidated civilization becomes even more timely.

Michael and Rachel are devastated when their six-year-old son dies in a tragic accident. When a stranger offers to bring the boy back to life, they take the offer. However, the child who returns is not the child they once knew.

Returning to the island where he grew up, Sam finds that all is not as it seems. He discovers a seedy and violent underbelly of the island, and has a race against time to save the lives of those he loves. Dogged is a disturbing folk horror film that taps into our primal fear of what lurks in the woods
