The House
Across different eras, a poor family, an anxious developer and a fed-up landlady become tied to the same mysterious house in this animated dark comedy.
Why it matters
A darkly inventive stop-motion anthology that uses a haunted house as a vessel for surreal tales of human desire and despair across time.
- Three distinct animation styles showcase stop-motion’s artistic versatility without sacrificing mood or thematic cohesion.
- Marries eerie atmosphere with biting social commentary—poverty, ambition, and alienation under one roof.
- Fans of Jan Švankmajer and the Brothers Quay will appreciate its surreal, tactile aesthetic and psychological depth.
- Not a conventional horror flick—lean into its unsettling, allegorical vibe rather than straightforward scares.
