Bone Mother (2018)

Dare you rouse the devil's grandmother from her bone-laden sleep? Are you reckless enough to cross paths with an eternal spirit of nature whose iron jaws are forever famished? The enigmatic Baba Yaga may hold the knowledge you desire, but it may not be the wisdom you yearn for. Tread with caution, all who voyage this path, as your grand designs may return as phantoms to torment you. In the shadowy woods of 15th-century Eastern Europe, a self-obsessed prince embarks on an audacious journey towards eternity. Yet, he encounters a primordial protector too menacing and mighty to hoodwink. Bone Mother, inspired by the intricate tapestry of age-old Slavic folklore, is a sinister narrative set in an epoch when nature was cloaked in a veil of malevolent enigma, a time that gave birth to the specters that still haunt our dreams. Fusing raw, archaic forces with contemporary 3D-printing technology and a myriad of meticulously hand-painted figurines, this visually stunning short film resurrects the mysterious supernatural entity Baba Yaga and the ruthless Vlad the Impaler, sending shivers down your spine. Their tales are seamlessly interwoven into the genesis of a relentless power that would spawn countless horrors. Bone Mother is a chilling reminder of a time when myths and reality were one and the same; a time when the unknown was not just feared, but revered.

Bone Mother is an animation movie featuring Rafael Petardi and directed by Dale Hayward.
