Stopmotion’s sluggish first half may be trying for some even though I quite liked the premise. The film picks up some creepy momentum in the latter half, thankfully. Some gruesome and grisly practical effects provide a major assist. Thought the "little girl" was excellently creepy as well. I was actually kind of hoping the mom would play a bigger role in the horrors. Maybe it was just me but I thought she was terrifying—the way she would paw at things with her hands. While Stopmotion may not be for everyone, those who appreciate a slow burn with a dash of horror may find it worth a watch.
