Oscar Award-winning visual effects artist Phil Tippett (Star Wars, Starship Troopers) has completed his stop-motion epic Mad God, and it’s coming to Shudder next month.
30 years in the making, Mad God debuts on Shudder June 16, and the official trailer is here to give us but a small taste of the stop motion mayhem on display in this one.

“In Mad God, a corroded diving bell descends amidst a ruined city, with an Assassin emerging from it to explore a labyrinth of bizarre landscapes inhabited by freakish denizens.”
The stop-motion animation wizard first began the project after completing work on Robocop 2 before putting it on pause to create dinosaur effects for Jurassic Park. After twenty years, the artist returned to the project once more, releasing it in the form of small shorts between 2014 and 2018. Tippett also gave behind the scenes clips of his work on his YouTube channel.
“In short, Phil Tippett is a genius, and there’s no better home for him and his visionary mind than Shudder,” said Shudder’s general manager, Craig Engler. “We’re proud to bring this sure-to-be timeless film to our members.”
“It’s been over 30 years, but thanks to the team at Tippett Studio we finally made the dream a reality,” added Tippett. “I’m proud to partner with Shudder on the release of Mad God, and it’s an honor that my original vision can now be shared with audiences across the country.”
