Usually I don't talk about Claymation which is basically Stop Motion using Plasticine models, but this Russian made production by animator team called Susco Volkov is just on a whole another level! thus deserve more recognition. Vordum: Price of Death is a movie length claymation which is Dark Fantasy story where a group of warriors fought in a Mysterious Arena pitted against monstrous creatures to get their wish granted. These band of ragtag fighters will need to rely on each other to stay alive against the carnage and who knows how many of them will survive by the end of this sinister ordeal?
Youtube have plenty of good free Claymation videos notably Klay World series but Vordum is totally a different beast especially if you enjoy the carnage level of Doom or Diablo series . For its medium, Vordum's model details are very impressive and you can really feel the intense bloodsheds the protagonist went through literally hell as they constantly fight for their life against series of evil creatures culminating in a showdown with a Bloodthirster/Diablo expy. Normally Claymation level of violence are kept at cartoonish but Vordum decides to step up, If blood and gore is what you seek, then blood and gore is what you will get! The Animator really know his craft to pull out this level of work and Vordum would have shine even more with proper dubbing, but given it is distributed for free, The production value is just more than enough. You won't regret watching Vordum if you seek some fix for Dark Fantasy but try to find a mainstream alternative.
