What people are saying

  • Alunauwie
    ★ 9/10

    The House presents a compelling anthology of three distinct stop-motion stories, unified only by a single enigmatic house that draws in its inhabitants across different timelines. Each segment showcases a unique animation style and tone—ranging from eerie and aesthetic to grounded and surreal—while weaving deeply symbolic narratives. Despite a few logical inconsistencies and unclear background elements, the film delivers rich allegories of human emotion and psychological states, making it a thought-provoking and visually engaging experience Read the full review here: (Indonesian version : alunauwie.com) and (English version : uwiepuspita.com)
