Undergods - a collection of darkly humorous, fantasy tales - takes us on an otherworldly journey through a Europe in decline. Chino Moya’s visionary debut blends sci-fi and fantasy, the flavor of ‘70s sci-fi epics with a touch of European art-house sensibility, to create a worldview that is at once savagely grotesque and alarmingly familiar.

“The film’s parallel stories bleed together, linked by the half-remembered dreams of one of the body-collectors, by macabre bedtime stories told to a little girl with a taste for monsters and by portals which deposit unfortunate characters from the precarious world above into a lawless hellscape where newcomers are either free labor or meat” (Screen).
