10 Most INSANE Horror Movies Of 2024

4. Stopmotion

Stop-motion animation filmmaker Robert Morgan made an impactful debut with Stopmotion, a horror that looks quite like nothing else released in 2024.

The brilliant Aisling Franciosi (The Nightingale) stars as Ella, a stop-motion animator who begins to struggle to differentiate between reality and her latest film production.

It's near-impossible not to view the movie as Morgan's expression of the utterly brutal, painstaking process of making a stop-motion project, and this picture simply wouldn't work if its many stop-motion elements weren't so beautifully tactile.

The uncanny fusion of stop-motion and live-action is grounded by Franciosi's unsurprisingly excellent performance, ensuring that, for as wild as it gets, Stopmotion always has one foot planted firmly on the ground.

Given that stop-motion is commonly associated with kitsch in the horror genre these days, this movie offers up a highly creative and unexpected riposte to that stereotype, using the medium to tell a story that only Morgan and artists like him possibly could.
