Leave your thoughts about Undergods.
| The Film StageJared MobarakMoya has a great eye for locales and his production and art designers go above and beyond utilizing what Eastern Europe has to offer. |
| Film ThreatHanna B.There might have been time for some plot-holes to be fixed, characters to be developed deeper, or some such, but Undergods manages to mesmerize and captivate every minute of the way with a bewitching visual palette and an appropriately fitting electronic score |
| Screen DailyWendy IdeThis arresting first feature blends sci-fi and fantasy to create a worldview which is at once savagely grotesque and alarmingly familiar. |
| The GuardianPhil HoadA riptide of surrealism runs through Chino Moya’s ambitious debut feature, a fantasy suite of tales that don’t so much interlock as butt into one another and blurt out alarming, dreamlike correspondences. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeMoya’s vision may be bleak — and “vision” is the right word to describe the Spanish-born director’s stunning capacity to create images and atmosphere — but there’s something unnervingly familiar about the world he creates in his feature debut. |
| Austin ChronicleTrace SauveurLook past the uneven narrative and you’ll find a new cinematic voice with something to prove, and the formal prowess to back it up. |
| Paste MagazineAndrew CrumpAs an arrival, Undergods impresses, but what’s under the surface needs finessing. |
| The Observer (UK)Mark KermodeIt’s a collection of grimly satirical snapshots, fitting together like the misshapen pieces of a Chinese puzzle ball to create a dyspeptic, dystopian portrait of our past, present and future. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThere’s “cryptic” and “vague” and then “incoherent to everyone else” and unfortunately, Moya sets up shop at that end of the spectrum. |
| User ReviewshoulderoforionAlmost incoherent, lol, but visually stunning, and enough scifi fantasy horror to keep me interested, found myself lagging through the last bit though. |
