'Stopmotion' is a true horror story about the artistic journey in its most universal conception. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 6, 2024

The result is not a great film, but instead great elements in a passable one.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Oct 14, 2024

Franciosi works at just the right temperature – patient yet revealing early on; terrifyingly deranged later. She’s a perfect fit for Morgan’s morbid vision…

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 24, 2024

Aisling Franciosi is outstanding in Stopmotion, Robert Morgan’s creative horror debut about an animation director.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 25, 2024

Style and substance are one in the same here, and that is what makes “Stopmotion” so captivating.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 19, 2024

Telling a familiar story of a young person struggling to separate art from reality whilst dealing with trauma but doing so in an intriguing way, Stopmotion is successful in creating an eerie atmosphere, and is helmed by a fantastic lead performance.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 10, 2024

The first half is mostly just functional... But when Stopmotion gets gross, it gets good.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 31, 2024

Stopmotion is a strange, disturbing, exhilaratingly perverse film, which, like stop-motion itself, brings dead objects to life, and vice versa.

| May 30, 2024

Capped off with a woozy and uncompromising ending, Stopmotion successfully brings familiar elements together to create a uniquely horrific depiction of a troubled artist experiencing psychological freefall.

| May 28, 2024

A sinister tale leading to madness.

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 17, 2024

A mix of body and psychological horror that digs into the very human habit of codependency, as well as how trauma can resurface to shatter our sense of identity.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 3, 2024

It’s a wildly inventive spurt of bug-eyed British gore that pulls the innards out of the creative process. Quite literally, at some points.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 1, 2024

Gory and hallucinatory, this body horror film isn't afraid to go all-out with its symbolic imagery, its unsettling sound design, and—best of all—its eerie, creepy stop-motion animation.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 29, 2024

A British film that finds a particularly creepy way to generate fear. [Full review in Spanish]

| Mar 27, 2024

We've seen psychological horror films about artistic obsession before -- but rarely this jaw-droppingly gnarly, and never with grotesque stop-motion animated sequences.

| Mar 26, 2024

As an exercise in tension, it's very affecting.

| Mar 22, 2024

It's a solid 90-minute run time, and there's a lot to be discovered.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 22, 2024

A unique take on the terrifying beauty of horror, Morgan unites the cinematic power of terror and stopmotion to brilliant effect.

| Mar 20, 2024

Real art is created with blood, sweat, and tears, and while the latter two are often literal, the former is usually meant figuratively. Not in this film, however, the actual creation of life is made with a pound of flesh, or rather, a pound of clay.

| Mar 11, 2024

Stopmotion typically strains to hit the 90-minute mark, and its psychological depths are perhaps a bit shallower than intended, but for those who prefer more tangible images in their horror, it’s a marked success in that regard.
