Feature film - D, LUX 2025 - 91' - OmU
Director: Steve Hudson
A traveling showman comes to a sleepy village - but nobody there is really afraid of his freaks. The real horror lurks in a nearby castle. There, a mad scientist creates one grotesque monster after another - his first creation, the little boy Stitch Head, would rather keep his siblings safe and hidden from the villagers. With star British voices, animation artist David Nasser and director Steve Hudson create a family film that is as fast-paced as it is affectionate, with a style somewhere between Tim Burton and FRANKENSTEIN JUNIOR.
All about the power of images in film, pop culture, art and society. At FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE from October 9-16, 2025 and always online.
*Editorial Note: As the Rausgegangen team, we take a long-term view of the debate and criticism surrounding FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE. We take this debate very seriously. For us, the following is fundamentally clear: We reject any form of toxic behavior in the workplace and actively position ourselves against it. But what we do: We recommend content. We stand behind the filmmakers, the artists and the works. Regardless of politics, we want to recommend films and give you the opportunity to get to know the festival and its program. That's why you'll find the FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE content on our website.
