The highlight of this film is the animation. While compared to many animated films today this isn't a great film, for 1968 it is very good and creative. As for the story, it was, well, very odd and not the best aspect of SIREN.
The story begins with an odd red and black animation. Not until later are there any other colors and the city is very odd to say the least. There are giant flying reptiles in the skies, weird mechanical cranes and a ship that suddenly changes colors as a mermaid appears. What happens next is just bizarre...very bizarre and involves an ambulance and a truck from the zoo. See if yourself--it's really too hard to try to explain.
Overall, an interesting piece of art and not a traditional film in any way. Kids will no doubt hate it, but if you like experimental films, give it a try--it's very nice.
