A great concept that wasn't given proper time
The concept of stop motion puppets as meta monsters is so satisfying I'm surprised it hasn't been more often.
However, for it to work the story has to be even more compelling than the visuals. Gross meaty puppets alone can't carry a whole movie.
Stop Motion is a daring movie with some genuinely disturbing moments .
However, the pacing, the acting, the sound design... it's average at best. The characters are all unlikeable, the themes are cliché.
It's not a terrible movie and some people might really enjoy it. But for those who have watched the fair share of horror, I'd recommend going straight to the animator's other work.
