Eli Roth Directed a DARK SOULS 3 Animated Short and It’s Pretty Cool

View fullsize

I’m not the biggest fan of the films that director Eli Roth has made over the years. There’s just no real substance to them, but Bandia Namco just released an animated short film for Dark Souls 3 called "The Witches" that was directed by Roth. This might be the most impressive thing that he’s done. The animation is a bit crude, but it’s still a fun and entertaining short. And yes, of course, the short includes the kind of gratuitous violence that we’ve come to expect from Roth.

The short follows a Medieval-style knight searching a dark castle for something when he comes across a room with a trio of evil witches, and from there all hell breaks loose. I also included a behind-the-scenes video featuring Roth talking about the short in which he explains:

“I’ve always loved Medieval History. I’ve always wanted to do something that was in the space with knights and fire.”

This is what he came up with. Check it out and tell us what you think!
