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

Rated: 7/10

Chicago Reader

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

Time Out

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.

Rated: 4/5

What helps keep Stopmotion engaging is the committed performance from Franciosi, some genuinely inspired directorial flair, and the true star of the show: the stop-motion itself.

Rated: 3/5

Morgan’s assured direction glues us to our seats as the tragedy unfolds in front of our eyes, culminating in a breathless and bloody third act that we’re powerless to look away from.

I don’t think this movie deserves either the harsh criticism it’s getting or the overt support. It definitely felt incomplete and had more potential and used just plain gross-ness as its main horror element instead of true fear. But I think it deserves the admiration for its unique take on horror. It’s not often anymore that you see a horror movie that isn’t just a remake of the same boring, overdone themes. 6/10

This movie is definitely original. It’s doesn’t follow the stereotypical plot, cliches, nor relies on cheap jump scares. Stop motion does an amazing job with building suspense, creating the under layer of horror and having the viewer think. If you only watch movies for the surface value and not depth the meaning will definitely go over your head, The acting, set, directing was also awesome! Something to definitely watch if you appreciate horror films.
