Stopmotion feels born out of the sheer mental challenge of being trapped in a room with macabre creations that come to life over weeks of painstaking labour.
The director and animator Robert Morgan has crafted a narratively slender, visually sophisticated first feature.

I have no clue how. Cause I've seen every horror film I can imagine. This one almost made me pass out for some reason. So kudos. Great performancessbd the intersplicing of live action and. actual stop motion makes it uniquely creepy.
Report
Morgan’s feature debut is as stunning, diabolical and boundary-pushing an emergence as any filmmaker could hope to achieve.
Stopmotion is a one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted horror film with a great performance from Aisling Franciosi.
The movie’s dark magic occurs when the stop-motion story and the narrative proper bleed into each other (often literally), with goopy puppets invading Ella’s space while she—perhaps psychologically, perhaps in reality—finds herself trapped in theirs.
In “Stopmotion,” the debut feature from Robert Morgan, the medium—the painstaking and time-consuming process of stop-motion animation—may be unusual but the resulting film, an undeniably grisly but ultimately tedious tiptoe through the genre tropes, certainly is. This is all the more frustrating because in the middle of it all is a performance by Aisling Fransciosi that is so strong and committed that viewers will wish that the rest of the film had made the same kind of effort that she clearly did.
The film falters when it attempts to mold its best instincts into a discernible narrative shape.
The Beekeeper is a classic John Wick-style Jason Statham movie. I had fun, but in these kinds of movies, you expect things to escalate from easy to hard. The whole movie was like a beginner-level killing spree. Everything was so easy. Even for Statham.

The little girl who showed up early and said "it's boring, make a different movie" was right.
