Review: I put off watching this movie because of how creepy it looked. And wow, was it creepy. It feels like every movie I’ve reviewed lately is about someone’s ‘descent into madness,’ and this one fits right in.
This film would have been plenty scary without the stop motion, but adding that element makes it downright chilling.
The art design is incredibly impressive, and the way it feels like you’re watching two movies in one adds a unique twist. It starts a bit slow, but really picks up, and the third act is wild.
I won’t spoil anything—just go watch it with the lights on, and be prepared to lose some sleep.
