Complicated
Fans of DOOM, Hellraiser, Southern folklore, and killing klansmen stand up.
Fast-paced, short, and yet it's character rich and so very visually clear. The setting being Prohibition era south following the release Birth of a Nation is inspired and robust. This was fun, tragic, grisly and violent, emotionally charged, clearly inspired by your favorite horror media, and paced well. Loved the delineation between hate and anger, and I love the protagonist. Give more women big fucking magical swords. Did I mention the descriptive language feels so effortless? The painting of motion "on screen" and the unveiling of demonic horrors was just the right amount of lyrical and gilded.
