Stopmotion
Way too slow and way too long. It teases you with amazing stop motion animation just to cut away and almost never return. The soundtrack was insanely good, especially with the editing and camerawork. The casting and acting was fine, but was the little girl necessary? When will horror stop relying on annoying little girls and creepy old women? It took way too long for the story to actually get anywhere, so an hour in, I ended up turning it off. The concept was unique and interesting, so I'll be waiting on a stop motion horror movie that's actually stop motion.

6.6 - This is absolutely one for the weirdos.
I found it equally creepy & fun. The use of stop motion animation is fantastic & the creatures are beautifully grotesque.
I wish there was a little more clarity on the story. I read a handful of interpretations on the grief & abuse processing storyline - repressed sexual abuse by a male figure ignored by the mother, repressed creative expression from an abusive mother, additional angles of familial abuse - & none of them hit the mark exactly for me. I’m all for ambiguity especially in endings, but I do think with the uniqueness of the medium here, it could have elevated the experience to have a little more direct reflection to a specific sort of trauma. Especially since horror as grief & trauma representation has been the most overplayed horror theme over the last few years. This just didn’t make as powerful of a statement as it could have.

Couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Was a little slow and I could predict the plot easily but the cinematography is amazing. Love how they mesh stop motion and real life. I assume it's symbolism for schizophrenia (not an expert tho) which I also like about it.
