Press Quotes
It is such a consistently imaginative piece and not just in terms of character design but framing, editing, and the other elements needed to make a stop-motion feature work.
—Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
There is an undeniable dark maturity, stemming from the post-Apocalyptic undercurrent, and Junk Head's search for meaning. Yet there is also warmth and charm amid the grisly monster attacks.
—Richard Whittaker, Austin Chronicle
Junk Head is as unsettling and gory as Cronenberg and as grand and sad as del Toro, with creature design that brings to mind H.R. Giger.
—Andrew Todd, Birth. Movies. Death.
There’s such a wild sense of creativity on display here that you can’t help but admire what Hori has created.
—IAN JANE, Rock Shock Pop
