Films like Sebastian's Voodoo.

Sebastian's Voodoo (2008) reads as Sombre, breathless, measured animation / horror, surreal in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, measured. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
