Scenes from Neil Gaiman's 'MirrorMask'

Scenes from MirrorMask set to 'Thornes and Brambles' by the Seattle band Abney Park


.MirrorMask was originally released in 2005 in a limited number of theatres and to this day it is still slowly finding its audience. The film is a hallucinogenic journey through a brilliantly crafted CG world. Written by Neil Gaiman of the 'Sandman' comics and brought to life by the Jim Henson Studios, MirrorMask is The Wizard of Oz for the 21st Century.

 


Dark Romance's review of MirrorMask can be found in our Dark Arts - Movies - 2005 section.
