Surrealism in Animated Horror | A Look at STOPMOTION on Shudder

Description

We're thrilled to bring you another spine-chilling and nostalgia-infused episode of Horror Rewind! This week, your ghoulish hosts, Kelly and Meg, are taking you on a captivating journey from heartwarming childhood classics to mind-bending surreal horror.

We delve into the emotional and psychological layers of today's feature film, STOPMOTION's, narrative, exploring themes of identity, artistic expression, and the haunting influence of a toxic mother-daughter relationship.

You'll hear our thoughts on whether the young girl in the film is a ghost, a reflection of the protagonist's childhood, or her creative 'id'. The film's surreal elements keep us questioning reality, much like the fears tied to hypnosis and control.
