There's nothing "bad" about Stopmotion and I enjoy Aisling Francoisi as a genre actress but there's nothing very interesting or new here. Beyond the cool imagery (which certainly borrows from Dead Ringers and Videodrome) there are 100 other movies with an identical plot and progression and ultimately Stopmotion is just kind-of ends up being a boring and joyless trip down that familiar path.
You could just watch the director's other work to appreciate the macabre art style instead of watching this and probably end up being more satisfied with the viewing experience. I didn't dislike Stopmotion, but it's pretty forgettable.

Cool art to look at but not much else to add to a familiar trope
Unfortunately just slightly above average
Lately I've heard about this movie multiple times and I was pretty excited to see the result. The premise seemed interesting and I heard that the effects are good, which both turned out to be true. You have a unique premise for the movie that makes it stand out from all the other horror movies that are dumped out nowadays. The effects and especially the gore were also pretty great and had a gritty feeling to it which complemented the movie.
However I feel like this could have been so much more and I was a little let down after I finished watching. The movie has pacing issues and it tries to be way too artsy and pretentious instead of just focusing on its strengths. It's a decent flick but I was hoping for something special and great. [5,7/10]
