Jack F @MovieFan111 Nov 28 Uh... this was weird. I can't say I liked it, can't say I hated it. How the hell did I discover this thing; I have no idea. All I can say is that if you decide to watch it, be prepared to not understand what's happening, and get ready for one of the most unique movies of your life. You can thank Tubi for this. Was it scary? Um... I don't really have an answer. You decide. I think most will say yes. You want to increase your chances of being scared? Watch it at night like I did. See more Nov 5 These are the kind of cartoons that should win prizes at major international competitions, not clichéd works. But this is too original and not the right format to win anywhere. An incredibly long (5 years!) and painstaking amount of manual work went into this film, which was drawn, sculpted and animated live! The result is atmospheric, gloomy, surreal and eerie. It is the story of a young girl's escape from the Dignidad concentration camp (sect) in Chile. Unfortunately, her mind is irrevocably broken, and there can be no happy ending.

A massive achievement that took two men and a small crew five years to create. Don't worry about trying to follow the narrative, just let the cascade of mind-altering visuals amaze you. This is fluffing brilliant. See more Patryk G 03/07/2023 Wonderful but mostly incomprehensible. See more 03/02/2022 The stop-motion animation in The Wolf House is unlike anything I have ever seen before. It's surreal, absurd, and dark. The images crawl, skitter, climb, and fall apart on the walls and floorboards of the house, a refuge for our POV protag, Maria (Amalia Kassai). The sounds of the animation, mixed with the ASMR sounds they make, are truly an aesthetically pleasing experience. However, the story was difficult to follow — this could be because the film is mostly in Spanish with some German, which means unless you understand those languages, you'll need to read subtitles. Your eyes will not want to pull away from the animation. You'll probably want to review the history that the film draws inspiration from, and after doing so, you may see it in an entirely different light (or lack thereof). Although the film was only 75 minutes, it felt too long. The Wolf House is a must-watch if you're interested in an uncommon animation style, but since these reviews are cumulative, it doesn't make it into the (90)+ area. *Side Note* We tend to focus on the Nazis fleeing to Argentina, Brazil, and even Paraguay, but golly gee they were in Chile, too! See more 04/10/2021 The stop motion animation in this film is phenomenal. The attention to detail, the painstaking work involved in bringing this to life must be commended. It brings to mind such key figures in such filmmaking as Svankmajer and Bickford. However, the story line and its connection to the utterly heinous, despicable, unthinkable atrocities of the colony of nazis and other subhumans is terribly thin. I found myself again and again forcing inference where there was no clear connection via symbolism or general use of images. Therefore, it is often quite tedious, imo. I found to difficult to stay attentive despite the brilliant animation. Also, how many times can you say 'it's time to eat your food'/'eat your food'? 3 stars for the animation, but .2 for the rest. 3.2 stars See more Read all reviews
