Telling friends about a new hobby for the next series, you can stumble upon a wall of misunderstanding or, conversely, a violent enthusiastic reaction. However, not all creations of cinema evoke such emotions. From other plots, it makes you shudder, and you want to destroy any mention of them in every possible way. These include the films of Robert Morgan, a director who himself often played the role of an actor. What is so impressive about his work?

Details of life

Thanks to the film "Robert Morgan: Four Short Films", which is an autobiographical film, interesting details about his life became known. So, a 3-year-old boy's uncle decides to show a horror movie, and this later affected the child's psyche. He grows withdrawn, uncommunicative, loves disgusting insects. When Robert grows up, he enters the Surrey Institute, where he is most interested in animated films.

1997 marks the critically acclaimed and award-winning "The Man in the Bottom Left of the Photo" in 1997. This is followed by "Cat withhuman hands”, which is based on a dream once seen by his sister. Since then, Robert Morgan has received recognition and a growing number of awards. He understood the direction in which he needed to develop as a director and screenwriter.

List of creations

After the above, "Separation" came out, during which the viewer passes out. Such a "compliment" pleases Robert Morgan, and the next work becomes a sensation. "Monsters" deviate from the usual style of the author of the idea. This is not an animated movie, where again the relationship with the sister and memories from childhood fall into the plot. What can I say - it was difficult for the boy.

Subsequent creations:

• "Bobby Yeh" is pure surrealism without any admixture of plot, the viewer must build it himself with the help of those hints that are in the short film.
• Zone of Silence, based on the novel by Desmond Louden.
• "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" - Jane Austen's plot is suddenly filled with zombies.
• Lucky Tooth is a family film that breaks the horror streak.
• "The ABC of Death 2" - Robert Morgan acted as cameraman, the murders abound in details and are arranged alphabetically.

So, the author has quite a few works, but all of them are distinguished by originality and a special atmosphere. Why?

Style

Robert Morgan's cartoons have quite specific features: surrealism, short screen time and content calculateddefinitely not for kids. Shapeless objects appear on the screen for a second, by which one can guess that they were once parts of the body. Doll heads, silent characters, victims convulsing - all this creates an atmosphere that makes you want to turn off the video. However, something makes you look further and not turn off the pictures that are unpleasant to the eye.

Thus, in a few tens of minutes, Robert Morgan captures the hearts of nightmare lovers and fans. The genius in creating disgusting works that completely irrationally attract viewers is exactly the talent that many dream of owning, but few have and use.
