FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/stopmotion-review-a-character-study-you-will-hardly-forget/ "Stopmotion stands out as an unforgettable, challenging film, intertwining the art of stop-motion animation with the depth of psychological horror in a narrative as complex as it is disturbing. Although its dense story and unconventional approach are elements distant from the tastes of the general audience, it's a testament to creative power and the exploration of meaningful themes. The disgusting makeup and repugnant practical effects combined with an equally unsettling sound design, as well as the intriguing study of an artist's obsession and the search for validation, create a truly memorable cinematic experience. Noteworthy remarks on the exceptional performances of Aisling Franciosi and Caoilinn Springall." Rating: B+

Quite the love story to animation and embracing our inner child. Gore and disturbing footage where it needs to be but I didn't really care about the actors 1/2 way through and I failed to care about the animation 3/4 of the way through. It'll do its job. For me it was the staples.

Stopmotion Horror... Love me some Stopmotion film.This one looks to be quite interesting if not terrifying once all is said and done. Looks as if our artist can be a bit closed with her project, but shows a willingness to seek pharmacology to enhance her imagination. Her creature creation is coming along nicely with a little outside persuasion. She seems to be more willing to accept input. Finally, the mind is fracturing, unknown if it's the pharmaceutical ingestion or if her fertile imagination is finally coming unglued and awakening....
