Watch The Dark Western Short Animation THE BACKWATER GOSPEL



After watching True Grit earlier in the week ive sort of got into the mood checking out alot of Westerns in any shape or form and this one has caught my eye. Its a animation short from the Animation workshop in Denmark created by 8 of the students for there bachelor project, which looks dark, grim and morbid in the sense of nightmare before Christmas but better. Its set in a western backdrop but feels more like a horror but not creepy just morbid but refreshing in a strange way, probably because its not anime or inspired by all things anime like most animations try todo. The more you look at it the visual style is very organic, less of my chit chat just enjoy it, because its a good one!

As long as anyone can remember, the coming of The Undertaker has meant the coming of death. Until one day the grim promise fails and tension builds as the God fearing townsfolk of Backwater wait for someone to die.
