Co-written by the writer of the Emmy award-winning Netflix series, Love Death + Robots, The Spine of Night is a hand rotoscoped epic starring Richard E. Grant (Loki, Star Wars: Episode IX), Lucy Lawless (Ash Vs. Evil Dead), Betty Gabriel (Get Out), Patton Oswalt (Ratatouille, Parks and Rec) and Joe Manganiello (Justice League). Inspired by the cult classic works of artists like Ralph Bakshi and Frank Frazetta, it is a love-letter to the fantasy genre as it was in the 1970s: Boundary-Pushing, politically progressive, and utterly fearless.
