Streaming tip on Netflix: This is The House
The British production was initially planned as a miniseries. Eventually, The House was realized as an anthology film with a running time of an entertaining 97 minutes. The plot of the stop-motion animated film is divided into three different stories, all revolving around a mysterious house.
The first part is about an eccentric millionaire named Van Schoonbeck, then it moves on to a poor family and finally focuses on a annoyed landlady. Each story, told from the perspective of different family generations from different eras, was directed by a different person.
With a strong 97 percent rating on the critics aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, The House is definitely worth a look even if you don’t usually like animated films. The unusual atmosphere of surreal mystery elements stands out either way.
