Stopmotion [2023]
Hello friends, I'm here with another interesting movie title Stop motion and I would like to share you with here.
The movie is about a talented stop-motion animator becomes consumed by the grotesque world of her horrifying creations, with deadly results.
It begins, Ella Blake is the daughter of Suzanne, a stop-motion animator.
Unable to use her hands due to arthritis, Suzanne enlists Ella’s help in finishing a film she’s creating, often overworking Ella.
When Suzanne suffers a stroke and becomes comatose, Ella resolves to finish the film on her own.
Ella’s boyfriend, Tom, invites her to live with him while Suzanne recovers, but Ella instead chooses to rent a studio apartment to continue making the film.
She encounters a young girl living in the same building, who curiously asks her about the project.
She calls the story “boring” and presents Ella with a different story about a young girl lost in the woods.
Ella discards the original project and begins to create the film about the girl in the woods.
She is once again visited by her neighbor, who complains that the figurine of the girl doesn’t look real enough.
She retrieves a raw steak from the garbage and suggests Ella place it beneath the skin of the doll to emulate the appearance of flesh; Ella complies.
The girl then tells Ella that the girl in the story is hiding from an entity called “the Ash Man.”
Ella creates the Ash Man figurine, but the girl drags Ella into the forest and leads her to a fox carcass, insisting that the Ash Man has to be crafted out of “something dead.” Ella refuses.
The girl consequently refuses to tell Ella what happens next in the story, but Ella asserts she can figure that out on her own, though she subsequently has a creative block and finds herself unable to decide how to proceed with the story.
Ella asks Tom’s sister, Polly, to give her some LSD in the hopes it will inspire new ideas. That night, she hallucinates the Ash Man staring directly at her through her peephole.
Tom finds her passed out in her apartment, whereupon she realizes that she simply animated the Ash Man approaching the girl's door, and that the acid Polly gave her is still in her pocket untouched.
Polly, also an animator, sets Ella up with a job at the studio she works for.
Initially believing she was hired as an animator, Ella arrives to discover that she is instead being made to craft eyeballs for the figurines, and that Polly has plagiarized her film.
Enraged, she destroys the set Polly created. Desperate, Ella remakes the Ash Man puppet using the fox carcass.
The girl then tells her that what happens next is that the Ash Man touches the girl, but Ella refuses to include this in the story, instead deciding that the girl successfully escapes.
After experiencing another hallucination of the Ash Man pursuing her, Ella awakens in the hospital with an injured leg.
Tom says her project has gone too far, and announces his plans to go to her apartment and demolish the set.
Ella insists she be the one to do it, and Tom agrees on the condition that he is allowed to watch. Ella then learns that Suzanne has passed away.
Back at her apartment, Ella strangles the girl to unconsciousness, only for her to reappear unharmed seconds later and comfort Ella as she cries.
The girl demands that the Ash Man be remade with something bloodier. Ella removes the stitches on her leg and pulls out a strip of her muscle.
She is discovered by Tom and Polly, who attempt to rush her back to the hospital, but she kills them both and uses their flesh to create life-sized figures of the little girl and the Ash Man.
The Ash Man then stalks towards Ella and the girl, who fearfully proclaims that this isn't part of the story.
Find out what happened next as Ash Man then stalks towards Ella and the girl, who fearfully proclaims that this isn't part of the story as it gets interesting.
