Interview: Dani Lennon (To Your Last Death)
By Janel Spiegel – Mar 2020
The film is unlike anything that I’ve seen. Not just with the animation itself but, the concept. It’s like Saw meets Groundhog’s Day. It’s a very interesting role. I was attracted to it from the get-go. It’s kind of one of those things that’s special. <Read More>

[REVIEW] TO YOUR LAST DEATH IS AN ANIMATED STORY ABOUT TRAUMA WRAPPED IN A GORE FEST
By Mary Beth McAndrews – Mar 2020
Animation is a gorgeous medium ripe for horror picking but is so often assumed to be saved for children’s content.

Director Jason Axin’s feature film debut To Your Last Death proves that. <Read More>

ALL-AROUND MASTERPIECE (REVIEW)
By Moe – Mar 2020
An action-packed, blood-drenched animated feature. Bolstered by magnificent voice acting, strong script writing, and tons of character development plus world-building, it’s a delightful movie. Unique, especially for an animated flick, there’s a refreshing maturity inherent in its exploration of trauma. It’s a celebration of survivors just as much as an action-horror romp. <Read More>

By Lightninli – Nov 2019
To Your Last Death is a unicorn of a movie. A gory R-rated 2-D Western animated film. It’s a rowdy romp that uses familiar themes but takes full advantage of the unusual animated medium. It feels like an animated comic book on steroids. <Read More>

“...so over the top bat poop crazy and I loved all of it.”
By Marc Morin – Aug 2019
The animation has that classic 2D look that plays like a comic book come to life which makes the excessive violence even more fun to watch because you’re like this is crazy but it’s just a cartoon. I especially loved the inventive torture traps that could easily have been used in one of the many Saw movies and a lot of the biggest blood splattering moments come from these being put to good use. <Read More>
