Bumpy (1981)
Forget slick CGI forests — *Bumpy* finds its magic in the raw, tactile terror of a fairy tale come to life. This isn’t just a story about escaping a monstrous hag; it’s a surprisingly tender tale of friendship blooming in the darkest of places. The emotional hook lies in young Iti’s choice to see the humanity in Bumpy, the hag’s lonely son. If you love slow-burn fantasy that values character over cheap scares, and stories about chosen family found in the most unexpected creatures, this is a must-watch.
