Pretty deep.
This took me some time to make, as I was on and off school projects. I have been studying cults a lot recently in my free time. I became fascinated with the way they treat children.

Pretty deep.
honestly, so so good. Super chilling and odd. I'll be thinkin about this one.
YAS! NUFF SAID!
as far as being kind of a darkly satirical and exaggerated portrayal of a cult you really hit the nail on the head here, there was some awesome sound design and creepy 2d/3d animation that added to the vibe
some parts did get a bit on the nose about the whole lost VHS cult tape thing here and there but the good outweighs the bad, great job
This is a pretty well-made animation. Only two things I can say to criticize it.
- I think this needs subtitles. I can't hear it properly with the distorted voice.
- While this is a good horror animation, it's nowhere near a realistic depiction of a cult, based on what I've read. No real life cult has ever appeared this blatantly sinister, as far as I know of. But you said you've studied cults. Can we compare notes some time in the future?
Appreciate the response and feedback. As far as the cult itself goes I wouldn't say I was ever aiming for a realistic depiction, but rather that of a fantastical/story book reality. So in a sense the ideas was to create an absurdist stereotype of a cult, with references to common themes of child abuse, loss of innocence, and control.
