History YMMV / WhereTheDeadGoToDie

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: A common complaint in critical reviews was that eventually the barrage of horror takes the edge off itself. Even fans of SurrealHorror find the film's tone to be far too bleak, though whether they see it as being legitimately too twisted or [[{{Narm}} so unabashedly dark it becomes goofy]] tends to vary.

** It also gives off a similar vibe to a German underground horror film due to its [[{{Gorn}} extreme gore]] and its {{surreal|Horror}} NoBudget aesthetic, as if [[Olaf Ittenbach Film/TheBurningMoon]] or [[Film/{{Nekromantik}} Jörg Buttgereit]] decided to do an animated film.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Many commentators consider this film to be the surreal, animated equivalent of ''Film/ASerbianFilm''.

** Tommy wishing his parents back to life, only to be duped by the monsters. The shot of him later picking up his dead unborn brother and hugging him is depressing.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Or rather, even harder drugs?

* CommonKnowledge: It’s often claimed that the movie is a BlackComedy when its actual a straight SurrealHorror film. These claims probably come from the fact that ''Tainted Milk'' was originally meant to be a DarkParody of ''Series/{{Lassie}}'' but was later retooled into straight horror.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Some people believe that the shorts have good premises (a child meeting a demon dog who tells him to do horrible things; a man being able to insert memories of other people to himself; a deformed person finding love) that were unfortunately destroyed by bad execution.

* UncannyValley: Arguably, the poor jerky animation and creepy facial expressions make the film ''scarier''.

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: A common complaint in critical reviews was that eventually the barrage of horror takes the edge off itself. Even fans of SurrealHorror find the film's tone to be far too bleak, though whether they see it as being legitimately too twisted or [[{{Narm}} so unabashedly dark It becomes goofy]] tends to vary.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Some people believe that the shorts have good premises (a child meeting a demon dog who tells him to do horrible things; a man being able to insert memories of other people to himself; a deformed person finding love) that where unfortunately destroyed by bad execution.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Due to the '''''heavily''''' MindScrew nature of the film, it's hard to tell if the characters even exist within the same universe. Are Tommy and Sophia separate characters from the killer and the hooker, respectively? How much of what Labby says is true? Do the Liquid Memories really work the way the Killer thinks they do? The list of questions go on.

Even fans of SurrealHorror find the tone of to be far too bleak, though whether they see it as being legitimately too twisted or [[{{Narm}} so unabashedly dark It becomes goofy]] tends to vary.

* TheWoobie: The protagonist in ''Liquid Memories''. He may be a crazy SerialKiller with confusing intentions, but he is easily one of the more sympathetic characters in the entire film, if but for his inner suffering and the torment those strange creatures seem to be putting him through.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation:
** Are Tommy and Sophia separate characters from the killer and the hooker, respectively?
** How much of what Labby says is true?
** Do any of the recurring characters even exist?
** Do the Liquid Memories really work the way the Killer thinks they do?

* {{Narm}}: Easily one of the biggest if not ''the'' biggest criticism is that it's extremely difficult to take the film seriously. It constantly throws so much disturbingly shocking content at the audience without ever letting up that many end up finding the film humorous in a CrossesTheLineTwice kind of way. [[note]]Ironically, ''Tainted Milk'' originally ''was'' going to be a BlackComedy rather than straight horror.[[/note]] And that's not even getting into the poor animation and equally bad voice acting.

* SpecialEffectFailure: The film was made using simple at-home software, and it shows with the tweening issues, inconsistent lip-syncing, and stiff animation. In fairness, these were some of the creator's first attempts at CGI animation, and he was learning as he went along.

* {{Narm}}: A frequent criticism is that it's extremely difficult to take the film seriously, given that the film constantly throws so much shocking content and gore without ever letting up. The poor animation and equally bad voice acting do not help whatsoever.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: A common complaint in critical reviews was that eventually the barrage of horror takes the edge off itself. Even fans of SurrealHorror find the tone of to be far too bleak, though whether they see it as being legitimately too twisted or [[{{Narm}} so unabashedly dark It becomes goofy]] tends to vary.

* SpecialEffectFailure: The film was made using simple at-home software, and it shows with the tweening issues, inconsistent lip-syncing, stiff animation, and the limited range of movement and facial expressions in the character models. In fairness, these were some of the creator's first attempts at CGI animation and was learning as he went along.

* SensoryAbuse[=/=]SensoryOverload: Much of ''Liquid Memories'' and, especially, ''The Mask That the Monsters Wear''.
** These tropes are '''definitely''' in effect for ''When Black Birds Fly''.

* {{Narm}}:
** ''Tainted Milk'' has a few moments of this, given that the film was originally intended to be a ''Series/{{Lassie}}'' parody.
** The smiley-faced things in the Vietnam flashback look just like the title character of the freeware game ''Super Aneurysm''.

* SpecialEffectFailure: There's some animation errors here and there, with varying degrees of noticeability--these were some of the creator's first attempts at CGI animation, and he was learning as he went along.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Some people believe that the shorts have good premises (a child meeting a demon dog who tells him to do horrible things; a man being able to insert memories of other people to himself; a deformed person finding love), that where unfortunately destroyed by bad execution.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: According to the creator, the first short was partly an attempt at this, but production focused more on the horror aspect afterwards.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: A common complaint in critical reviews was that eventually the barrage of horror takes the edge off itself. Even fans of SurrealHorror find the tone of the movie to be far too bleak, though whether they see it as being legitimately too twisted or [[{{Narm}} so unabashedly dark It becomes goofy]] tends to vary.
* {{Misblamed}}: James has been misquoted numerous times about his intended tone for the film. The first short was originally intended as a BlackComedy {{Homage}} to ''Series/{{Lassie}}'', but was mostly changed afterwards to focus more on the SurrealHorror. However, many have claimed that the film as a whole was a disturbing failed attempt at BlackComedy, when in reality the rest of the film was always intended as straight horror.

* SpecialEffectFailure: There's some animation errors here and there, with varying degrees of noticeability--these were some of Jimmy's first attempts at CGI animation, and he was learning as he went along.
* {{Squick}}: Almost too many moments to count, though the forced abortion in ''Tainted Milk'' and the [[spoiler: child pornography]] in the third short deserve serious top mention.

* TheWoobie: The main protagonist in the second short. He may be a crazy SerialKiller with confusing intentions, but he is easily one of the more sympathetic characters in the entire film, if but for his inner suffering and the torment those strange creatures seem to be putting him through.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: A common complaint in critical reviews was that eventually the barrage of horror takes the edge off itself.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: A very common criticism, critical reviews noted that eventually the barrage of horror takes the edge off itself. [[CausticCritic Critics]] like WebVideo/TheMysteriousMrEnter and WebVideo/{{PhantomStrider}} refuse to review the movie, with the former saying that making it an Animated Atrocity [[InsultToRocks is too good of an honor for it]], and the latter turning it off after the first ten minutes. Even fans of SurrealHorror find the tone of the movie to be far too bleak, though whether they see it as being legitimately too twisted or [[{{Narm}} so unabashedly dark It becomes goofy]] tends to vary.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Or, at least, really hard drugs, rather than cannabis [[WordOfGod (as he admits)]]?
