1. Stopmotion
British horror is in a happy place – well, as happy as horror gets – with fast-rising filmmakers like Rose Glass, Claire Oakley, Prano Bailey-Bond and Remi Weekes marrying frights with real craft. To those bloody ranks add animator-filmmaker Robert Morgan. He brings his stop-motion skills to bear in a story of an unravelling director (Aisling Franciosi) that plays like a Ray Harryhausen fever dream. The Nightingale actress is magnificently intense, creating a stop-motion horror short that slowly takes over her life. Expect to hear a lot more about her monstrous creation, the relentless, bloody-eyed Ashman.
