What Happens

The goatman admires his pregnant wife’s belly as their child roams around nearby. They all soon see that a giant spider is stalking them. If that wasn’t bad enough, there’s a huge werewolf hunting them. The goat man is smart and starts a forest fire before fighting back. The various monsters fight to the death, and it’s all very dramatic. 

Commentary

The very first scene immediately made me think “This was done by AI,” but as it progressed, I started to doubt that. The characters are all consistent throughout the various action scenes, and there is a logical plot going on throughout the short film. I suspect this is all regular computer generated imagery, without the AI stuff that we usually trash so heavily. 

It looks good, the creature designed are excellent, and there’s even an emotional component to it. It’s all very sharp, and I especially like the scene in the rain at the end. 

OK, I admit it, I liked this one.
