Overall the idea is sound but the animation does very little to support the characters and lacks in trying to relate the context of the story itself.
I like the story, animation and the cool directing as well...
To me the film did an excellent job of transporting us from reality to an alternative experience. The alternative experience occurred between the moment of impact until the driver's regaining of consciousness. The violence of the impact, the damage done to the driver as he hurls through the windshield, and the destruction to the deer and car are transformed in the crash-addled mind of the driver.
He is transported to an alternative reality, in which crash is transformed, morphing the experience and time. The normal occurrence of wrecking into a deer, the images normally seen in such an experience are enhanced. The damage and pain of the impact for the driver, flying through the windshield, into the road, and sliding to a stop are mixed into the fantasy experience of man and machine versus nature. The prominent images he sees are likewise translated. The prominence of the antlers, which would be the last looming thing he saw before impact, the musculature of he deer as he saw it's body ripple while attempting to dodge the car, the spindly thinness of it legs, all of these are imported into his vision.
He grapples with the antlers that fought back when he assaulted the deer with the car, the legs that crash through the windshield become the thin but painfully powerful striking arms that cause him so much pain.
At the end the buzzing sound of his rattled head indicate an end of his out-of-body and other worldly experience and a return to a reality that while not as fantastical is just as violent.
