Aisling Franciosi (The Nightingale, Last Voyage of the Demeter) stars as a stop-motion animator struggling to control her demons in Stopmotion, the feature debut by director Robert Morgan releasing in theaters this week. The film releases in theaters on February 23 before heading to Shudder on May 31, 2024.
Stopmotion director Robert Morgan, who co-wrote the script with Robin King, is best known for the stop-motion shorts “Bobby Yeah” and “D is for Deloused” in ABCs of Death 2. In Stopmotion, the BAFTA-nominated filmmaker/animator infuses the painstaking process of stop-motion animation with visceral horror bolstered by eerie meat puppets and an immersive sound design.
Bloody Disgusting spoke with Morgan ahead of the film’s release about the unique stop-motion creations and bringing them to life on screen.
The concept behind Stopmotion was born of the simple desire to see stop-motion animators depicted on screen and snowballed from there.

The young cast of this clever thriller undertake a hair-raising manor house heist, but it’s Sylvester McCoy and Rita Tushingham who steal the show
This nifty thriller, set mostly in a grand manor house deep in the British countryside, has an impressively evil streak and a clever twist or two that perhaps are not hard to see coming if you’re experienced in the genre. Even so, director Julius Berg, who has worked mostly in French TV and makes his feature debut here, has a knack for ratcheting up suspense and finessing the technicalities in order to maximise the creepiness. For example, the sound design (by Ben Baird) is outstanding, an almost palpable entity that shimmers with synthesiser drones and distorted noises generated by the plot. Elsewhere, when the violence and anxiety reaches its zenith, the film switches aspect ratio to a boxy, nearly square format, heightening the claustrophobia...

One clear sign that a group of women are in a cult is if they start singing in unison. Take Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. If I just turned on my TV without context and saw them all singing while dumpster diving, I would know that those girls weren’t simply just hanging out. This also goes for The Other Lamb. If I went in blind, I would know there was something much more sinister afoot once all the girls in similar dresses started singing hymns. Following recent films like the former, Midsommar, Mandy, and Charlie Says, to name a few, director Małgorzata Szumowska looks to add another must-watch to the canon of films about cults.
The film follows Selah (Raffey Cassidy), who was born into a cult known as the Flock. The cult is made up of women who are referred to as daughters and mothers. The women are all similarly made up,...
