Stopmotion
Directed by Robert Morgan
Ella Blake is a stop-motion animator who is struggling to control her demons after the loss of her overbearing mother. Suddenly alone in the world, she embarks upon the creation of a macabre new puppet film, which soon becomes the battleground for her sanity. As Ella’s mind starts to fracture, the characters in her animated film take on a terrifying life of their own, and the unleashed power of her imagination threatens to destroy her.
A struggling stop-motion animator is haunted by her own creations in this acclaimed and nightmarish vision from director Robert Morgan.
Cast: Aisling Franciosi, Stella Gonet, Tom York, Caoilinn Springall, Therica Wilson-Read

Holy cow…. That was WILD!
I finally watched it (on Hulu, ironically), and in spite of some good gore near the end, it was largely unremarkable. I immediately knew the little girl wasn't real (a too common trope now), and the end was just so-so. If you want a fun, violent movie with an imaginary little girl, watch Boy Kills World instead.

Liked it, and would recommend to fans of slow-paced, "what just happened" movies thats more of a "vibe" than a clear story. The acting from Aisling Franciosi is amazing as usual. No one can play the tired,sad,angry eyes like she does without overusing her facial expressions. The gore isn't everywhere but when it is present, it is GORY and made me shudder and close my eyes for a few seconds. The sound design is squelchy and unnerving. I'm a fan of stop motion so this was a little delight for me. This is a first feature film by this director, and I look forward to seeing more of his films.
What is all the hype? It was pretty boring and went no where.
