Phil Tippett directs Alex Cox, Niketa Roman and Satish Ratakonda in this stop motion dystopian vision where The Assassin travels through a nightmare underworld of tortured souls.

30 years in the making. A labour of love that roped in film and animation students to work on weekends and summer vacations. Not a moment of relent. This is so bleak, so unnerving and so nasty that you’ll never want to watch it again. As a one off experience it is powerful, if often purposefully slow. Tippet really makes you marinate in the futility of insect politics. Annihilation art.
