Loved the first one, It embodies all children biggest fear, like yelling to your parents for help and they don’t listen, getting lost is a huge dark place, unknown people that stare at you in the dark, if only the other two were this good
I'd say all of them were creepy in their own way. Story 1 touches on big changes, getting lost, feeling abandoned, and feeling watched. Story 2 touches on insects, feeling like nothing is getting done, the future and all of its problems, and then yourself. Story 3 touches on insanity, loneliness, and not dealing with yourself or the outside forces. Each has their own fears. Personally, I think the third was the most creepy due to Rosa being so intent on fixing the house that she refuses to realize the fact that the house is holding onto her, the water is rising, and that she isn't taking care of herself. Being so intent on making something work and coming to find out that it just goes back to square one is so erie. The third story definitely had the more happy ending. Story 1 definitely was a lot more dark in terms of tones. It was definitely scary to see those small facial features and the constant changing of the house, but especially the "actors" that were around the family. That one scene where they found the guy in the dark crying to himself was the worst. I feel like Story 2 was the most disturbing because of the Contractor in general. Putting on flashy stuff while there's bugs in the walls was weird. But the end sequence was the worst when we find out that he's been talking to his Dentist the entire time, tries to kill the invaders, goes to the hospital, and returns to the house without a word. The panning of the camera to show the house being destroyed and then to show the Contractor resorting to a feral state and digging into the wall just put it right on the cake. Everyone has their own fears, I found the 2nd and 3rd better than the first just because of the story. Of course the 1st was creepy, but there's something about seeing the main character deteriate over time that kills me.
I agree about the childrens fears, but I like the third one more because I personally really related to it, and it had a happy ending. Both seem to be about reassessing priorities, one for worse one for better.
Watched this yesterday and oh my god I felt like my brain was messing with my head watching this. So bizarre, very unsettling, but yet I loved it. The mouse story was my favourite. :)
The 2nd story is what probably got me, seeing the developer succumb to madness stressed me out with the vermin couple and their people taking over his house.
Why would anyone think it was okay for a man to call another man “darling” or “sweetheart”? That’s usually what you call women. I believe this contractor was homosexual.
The first story was definitely in my opinion the best part of the movie. Set design, characters and lighting created a level of creepiness that resembled a bit of Amnesia game series. I wish that the entire movie was based around that first story, expanding the history of the house. The other stories could have been sequels. But still, it takes massive amount of work just to create 30-minute long stop motion film, let alone 1,5h long.
i feel like all 3 chapters are in a linear sequence. in the first chapter we have the early modern period, in the second chapter we have the current modern/ contemporary period, and in the third chapter we have the future apocalyptic period. This house stood the test of time and remained throughout many centuries.
I personally like the second chapter the best. That ending just gave me a weird feeling. It was really unnerving, and the music made it 10x better. Oh! I may not be right but I’m pretty sure the rat couple was supposed to represent the bugs- Won’t go away, gross, and ruining the house. Also, The design. The male rat is round, and has small limbs, Representing the first type of fur beetle. The female rat is very long and you can kind of see the lines in her torso, or should I say thorax, Representing the second type of fur beetle. And at the end we see them as their “true selves.” Anyway, this movie was totally unnerving, am I right?
I said this in another comment, but I'm pretty sure all those chemicals from the repellent he was using was making him hallucinate the couple but they were really the bugs. That's why they wouldn't leave and brought their family with them.
Did you see in the beginning when the little girl is playing with her dollhouse, she’s using mice as dolls? I also think it’s weird the man who built their new house, made it a replica of the little girls doll house. Idk what this has to do with anything lol. Just pointing it out :D
Some have pointed out that Mr van Schoonbeek is basically playing dolls with the family. He gives them a house, feeds them, dresses them up and controls every step of their lives. Also, in the second story, there's a mother with a baby called Isobel among the rats that visit the House. :D
The bug one wigged me out, it was so disgusting. Gives me legit shivers, and it also make you begin to wonder how those bugs made those suits or how they got there. But there’s no explanation
I think the third was the most creepy. Just seeing Rosa slowly going insane and finding moments where she's free from the control is real disturbing. The ending was definitely a big payoff.
@@PILOSOPAUL you know I thought the same at first, but I feel like the emphasis they put on her friends kind of muddies that. If the major theme of the anthology is materialism, then we can see the last story as letting go of earthly wants. I think that this is especially prominent in how in the other two stories what causes our character’s demise is greed/materialism (the parents consumed by materialism and the developer not being able to get rid of the bugs because he won’t hire a professional exterminator plus him designing the house to have flashy impractical gizmos with less than stellar practicality), Rosa is able to break the house’s curse with the help of a nomad who only keeps his bare necessities.
The last story is literally the best part of the whole movie. It made me cry when Rosa was realizing the house was stopping her from moving on, and I kinda put 2 and 2 together and the flood is more likely death or life moving along her, and if she didn't make a move soon, she would be trapped in her own mind ruminating about the past
It's took a creepy turn into explaining the 3 stages one goes through as a home owner.. 1. Moving in - when you move into your home you're obsessed with making it your own, constantly changing things and the materials you put into it to make it look a certain way 2. Settling - Once a home is lived in it eventually settles. Cracks will appear and bugs begin to invade.. you can either try to repair and care for it until it's the house you initially fell in love with or you can accept the fate the your home is falling apart no matter what. 3. Moving on - after years of living in your home you start to desire more. You desire a change of scenery. You desire adventure.. but you try to fulfill those desire within your home that has nothing more to give you.. so you have to make a choice to move on or stay put..
I'm not a person that is perturbed easily, but I don't know why after watching this movie, I became more and more uneasy, which is exciting for me. There is something about the second story that was engraved into my mind, the final scene haunted me for several minutes after it ended and found myself in need of a break. I didn't notice the couple were meant to represent the insects, and when I had that moment of realization I covered my mouth. What an amazing ride, honestly, from beginning to end, every story was mesmerizing, I wish Netflix added more projects like this one
@@liamwatson5125 probably not cause you could tell that he was already losing it as soon as the police told him he’s been calling his doctor that and since the first scene was him talking to his “darling” it just shows that how Lonely he was and how he was already losing it
@@Aurora-hh7if But his doctor has nothing to do with a house, he should have been in frequent contact with a lawyer. A lawyer would have helped him. When you hear a man call another man “darling”, it generally means he’s homosexual. I’m not, so I would only say it to women.
The house feeds itself by trapping their owner .i am very sure that each and everyone of us go through some kind of loop in our life .we feel like going round and round. i felt the same while watching this movie .it made me restless and aware of the fact that we all are stuck into some loop and should give our best to get out of that feeling of helplessness and feel free of our mind .i am kinda feeling thankful to this movie .
Honestly the first story with those creepy workers lurking in the house freaked me out more than anything. The fact that any time the girl saw them they stopped what they were doing and just stared almost menacingly at her. It made me extremely uncomfortable ☹
Me, just now realizing that all three stories took place in the same house. Dude. What the f*** bro. That adds a whole new layer to it for me, and now the happy ending in the third story might not be as happy as I thought it was... Hold on, from human to mouse to cats? What that metaphor do? Layers on layers on layers...
I decided to watch the movie after watching this review. It reminded me of the book House of Leaves, also a horror story (stories?) that's uniquely perfect in the medium it came out as. The one thing that really puzzled me was that it's listed as a dark comedy in Netflix. Now, I'm not sure what they meant by "comedy," but I didn't find one bit of the movie humorous. Just entertaining in a very dark, twisted, and Grimm-fairy tales type of way. Or maybe it's because I watched this vid first, so I dove in knowing the movie is creepy to some level beforehand.
I personally loved this film! All three stories brought their own unique atmosphere, filled with uneasiness and intrigue, and I greatly enjoyed them. While not nearly as creepy as the other two, I think the third one was quite memorable in its resigned and wistful tone, and I really appreciate how it ended on a much more hopeful interpretation than the previous chapters.
Ray Harryhausen would have loved " The House. " The time taken to do stop- action is amazing. The entire movie is remarkable. A superb mixture of eldritch horror!
I still think about it all the time because it was one of those things you don’t go into expecting anything cause you’ve not heard about it, and it blows u away. haven't felt that way about a movie since coraline
Amazing movie! I loved every story for individual reasons but I think my favorite is the second one. The foreshadowing, mystery and ending was great throughout I was trying to figure it out and didn’t predict the exact ending . And it definetly left me haunted for days! To see him lose himself finally falling for complete insanity, going back to his animalistic roots was just amazingly creepy. To me it felt like watching someone losing their battle against mental illness and being completely consumed by it at the end. Much like the greed and obsession in the first story but that one at least ended with the children getting away. The third kind of had a good and positive message throughout so it just makes it more upsetting to see the second without any positives
You pointed out so many deep insights and realizations from the movie. You've done such a clear and concise analysis. The movie was wonderfully creepy, and at times sad. Every story was beautifully crafted and thought-evoking, each one is different and have characters that one can relate with the most. I hope more movies like this get more support.
This deserves an academy nom i just finished watching it, I’m geeking out over the design of the set it looks so beautiful… and the rely on silence is what makes it unnerving.. its like an A24 horror.
everything about the first part was so creepy and disturbing. the ending of the second part was so haunting. and the third part was kind of touching and beautiful but still in a disturbing way. overall I did enjoy this a lot. it reminded me a bit of Coraline, too.
I think part one is easily the best one. Part two is good just not as suspenseful and creepy. Part three is okay not bad because it did a decent job at ending the film. I would rate this movie a 7.5/10. This film would have been a easy 10/10 if it only focused on part one.
You forgot to mention the cinematography and the music. The use of silence combined with the way the camera is positioned and moved contributes massively to the creepiness factor.
I have a spot in my heart for stop motion animation, the house was an awesome watch, I'm glad there's still an interest in an art form that takes so much time and effort to make
I think there may be a connection in all the stories with the color green. In the first part, when they get to the house, there were lots of green elements, such as the curtains. During that time period, the color green was seen as a sign a wealth since it was so rare, but the pigment that was used to make it, contained arsenite, which was toxic and killed anyone close to it. It symbolizes how being caught up in their materialism, lead to thier downfall. In the second one, the powder bottle that he used to kill the beetles was also green. He sprayed that stuff everywhere, just hoping it would go away, instead of solving it properly. He too met his demise from his refusal to use the proper solution. In the final part, the wallpaper that rosa was putting up was green. She was ignoring the actual problem and just trying to cover it up with pretty wallpaper. Luckily, she was able to let go of it and gain some amount of control. They were all using green to cover the actual problems in their lives, just like how people use money to cover theirs. The common theme in all of these stories is losing control and losing what really matters. They all opted to just cover it up on the surface instead of fixing it up from the roots. They were so lost in their delusions to the point where they're too blind to notice what's actually happening around them. All in all, it's a great movie with lots of symbolism still left to uncover.
The first story just kinda made me go "....oh God I'm fucked" And in the second I almost cried The third was my favorite, I felt happy for Rosa!! So yea, to me who loves horror shit, this was fucking creepy and terrifying
I absolutely loved this film but for some weird reason is labeled as a comedy? at least in my country. It didn't take any enjoyment from the film but i was looking to watch something with my mom and by the description we tought that it was just a silly animated comedy with a bleak tone featuring dark humor... oh boy
These 3 short films will haunt me forever. I know the Oscars have lost all credibility, if it had any to begin with, but this needs to win best animation and original screen play awards. It is without doubt the best animated films in 5 maybe 10 years
I also think that this movie really helps you set up a sense of dread. As horror movie audiences we are use to hearing a sad or scary song and knowing the worst is coming. When the music started i kept on thinking, "this is it, someone is going to die". Instead the feeling would be drawn out until the finale. Rather it be horrific (like the first and second story) or touching (last story, at least for me]. Despite the MA rating this movie was surprisingly kid friendly minus the cursing. No reliance on gore or cheap jump scares. Just dread stringing you along and leaving a pit in your stomach
I watched this last week and I haven’t stopped thinking about it! The first and second chapters were so unsettling, I’m still amazed. The house itself was an evil entity, and even seeing these clips again is making my throat tight
I think they were the ones hired to keep changing the house and keep building more and more rooms. I felt they were only creepy because it never seemed they left the house and they were also prisoners in the house. They could never leave, they were just forced to work and do what the man wanted.
When i watched that movie , i was iin shock. But i loved the first tale, it was giving me different theories in the second movie, i noticed in the begging the Sewing machin in the first tale The third one had a good ending and i actually loved all of the songs in the movie (u can find the soundtracks) so... its a 9 out of 10 scary points . But i LOVED this movie . i watch it AGAIN AND AGAINNN
For me each story is about transformation and influence. 1. Mama and Papa, transform into furniture, once they destroy the things that connected them to a past life. 2. The Rat embrace the wilderness within, due to frustration and the pressure of money in a civilized life. 3. The Cat learn to let go of the house and be free, living the journey instead of the destination.
I found ‘the house’ kind of terrifying, which I find quite strange since I love the film coraline 😅 fantastic animation, I can only imagine how long this must’ve took to make 👏
I think the themes add a lot to the overall horror. Parents who betray their children. Having a problem not only overtake you but draw you in to be part of the thing you're trying to defeat. The obsession of a person who wants to fix the house's problems is overtaken--like the original The Haunting movie. This will go down as one of the classic horror films.
It kinda reminded me of Carolina, bit of salad fingers and dhmis a bit, and the stop animation short foxed And love hate it 😍😖 And yes it’s there’s three stories but after the first story I just wanted to know more and what happened but also don’t want to know what happened 😝😅
The films imo got gradually worse in quality and increased in aimlessness. The first one was horribly creepy but interesting as was the second one (although it was a bit boring for a bit of it) the last one was just dull imo

One man's trash is another treasure....
To me personally, this shit is trash
It is amazing but i did not get so much fear as i thought
@@TheBatosai u thought u ate
I had to stopped watching after the second story 😂😂
I love horror movie and weird creepy movies, but the second part of this movie got me 😂
Loved the first one, It embodies all children biggest fear, like yelling to your parents for help and they don’t listen, getting lost is a huge dark place, unknown people that stare at you in the dark, if only the other two were this good
Yeah I would have to agree with you
I'd say all of them were creepy in their own way.
Story 1 touches on big changes, getting lost, feeling abandoned, and feeling watched.
Story 2 touches on insects, feeling like nothing is getting done, the future and all of its problems, and then yourself.
Story 3 touches on insanity, loneliness, and not dealing with yourself or the outside forces.
Each has their own fears. Personally, I think the third was the most creepy due to Rosa being so intent on fixing the house that she refuses to realize the fact that the house is holding onto her, the water is rising, and that she isn't taking care of herself. Being so intent on making something work and coming to find out that it just goes back to square one is so erie. The third story definitely had the more happy ending.
Story 1 definitely was a lot more dark in terms of tones. It was definitely scary to see those small facial features and the constant changing of the house, but especially the "actors" that were around the family. That one scene where they found the guy in the dark crying to himself was the worst.
I feel like Story 2 was the most disturbing because of the Contractor in general. Putting on flashy stuff while there's bugs in the walls was weird. But the end sequence was the worst when we find out that he's been talking to his Dentist the entire time, tries to kill the invaders, goes to the hospital, and returns to the house without a word. The panning of the camera to show the house being destroyed and then to show the Contractor resorting to a feral state and digging into the wall just put it right on the cake.
Everyone has their own fears, I found the 2nd and 3rd better than the first just because of the story. Of course the 1st was creepy, but there's something about seeing the main character deteriate over time that kills me.
I liked the other two but this one was definitely my favorite!!
I agree about the childrens fears, but I like the third one more because I personally really related to it, and it had a happy ending. Both seem to be about reassessing priorities, one for worse one for better.
I actually ranked them from best to great in the following order - 2, 3, 1
Watched this yesterday and oh my god I felt like my brain was messing with my head watching this. So bizarre, very unsettling, but yet I loved it. The mouse story was my favourite. :)
It really does play with your mind!

This movie was kinda haunting in a quiet way
Me too
Same!
The second story was so freaking disturbing. Thats forever going to haunt me
Same.. my skin started crawling at the end
Oh god same, I've seen plenty of film violence that hasn't phased me as much as that end scene, I genuinely felt sick watching it
@@hamsnub same o.o
@@hamsnub what happened?
Why would anyone think it was okay for a man to call another man “darling” or “sweetheart”? That’s usually what you call women. I believe this contractor was homosexual.

No I didn't notice at all.
I did!
Same as isobel the baby in the first part and the baby rat in the second. I thought it was the family in the form of rats
i feel like all 3 chapters are in a linear sequence. in the first chapter we have the early modern period, in the second chapter we have the current modern/ contemporary period, and in the third chapter we have the future apocalyptic period. This house stood the test of time and remained throughout many centuries.

I have a spot in my heart for stop motion animation, the house was an awesome watch, I'm glad there's still an interest in an art form that takes so much time and effort to make
Dropped shrooms and watched this, it was a little much
The first one was so nightmerish & creepy, I loved it, films don't usually scare me but this did😄😄
It’s not really creepy it’s just, strange
Strange in a weird way
I think there may be a connection in all the stories with the color green.
In the first part, when they get to the house, there were lots of green elements, such as the curtains. During that time period, the color green was seen as a sign a wealth since it was so rare, but the pigment that was used to make it, contained arsenite, which was toxic and killed anyone close to it. It symbolizes how being caught up in their materialism, lead to thier downfall.
In the second one, the powder bottle that he used to kill the beetles was also green. He sprayed that stuff everywhere, just hoping it would go away, instead of solving it properly. He too met his demise from his refusal to use the proper solution.
In the final part, the wallpaper that rosa was putting up was green. She was ignoring the actual problem and just trying to cover it up with pretty wallpaper. Luckily, she was able to let go of it and gain some amount of control.
They were all using green to cover the actual problems in their lives, just like how people use money to cover theirs. The common theme in all of these stories is losing control and losing what really matters. They all opted to just cover it up on the surface instead of fixing it up from the roots. They were so lost in their delusions to the point where they're too blind to notice what's actually happening around them.
All in all, it's a great movie with lots of symbolism still left to uncover.
The first story just kinda made me go "....oh God I'm fucked"
And in the second I almost cried
The third was my favorite, I felt happy for Rosa!!
So yea, to me who loves horror shit, this was fucking creepy and terrifying
I absolutely loved this film but for some weird reason is labeled as a comedy? at least in my country. It didn't take any enjoyment from the film but i was looking to watch something with my mom and by the description we tought that it was just a silly animated comedy with a bleak tone featuring dark humor... oh boy
I think it’s because it’s an animation, and animation is always labeled comedy. Bodacious Horseman was labeled as a comedy!
Lmao same here, labeled as dark, comedy man was I in for a ride
These 3 short films will haunt me forever. I know the Oscars have lost all credibility, if it had any to begin with, but this needs to win best animation and original screen play awards. It is without doubt the best animated films in 5 maybe 10 years
Y’all I just realized that Mabel’s dollhouse looks like the house 😱
the third story is my favorite I had tears of joy :')
I also think that this movie really helps you set up a sense of dread. As horror movie audiences we are use to hearing a sad or scary song and knowing the worst is coming. When the music started i kept on thinking, "this is it, someone is going to die". Instead the feeling would be drawn out until the finale. Rather it be horrific (like the first and second story) or touching (last story, at least for me]. Despite the MA rating this movie was surprisingly kid friendly minus the cursing. No reliance on gore or cheap jump scares. Just dread stringing you along and leaving a pit in your stomach
8/10 also!! I loved it so much
9/10 for me
The first story was definitely my favorite. An eerie style and feeling, in an 1800 setting, just my cup of tea.
the best , its more like coraline and paranorma because of stop motion and their story❣️❣️❣️ would really recommend
One of those movies made for those who are not afraid to go crazy or who are high
@Hans Pebble i liked the rat one. Looks like written by Kafka.
I watched this last week and I haven’t stopped thinking about it! The first and second chapters were so unsettling, I’m still amazed. The house itself was an evil entity, and even seeing these clips again is making my throat tight
The last was my favorite but the second was most unsettling. I hate bugs.
This was an utter masterpiece this movie
They made a stop motion version of hereditary hahahaha
who are the workers in first chapter tho? they creepy 😭
So creepy!
I think they were the ones hired to keep changing the house and keep building more and more rooms. I felt they were only creepy because it never seemed they left the house and they were also prisoners in the house. They could never leave, they were just forced to work and do what the man wanted.
@@JackalopeBunny omg this makes so much sense
I got serious chills throughout the movie. It's so well made and horribly creepy I had to take breaks while watching 😂
Great analysis video!
When i watched that movie , i was iin shock. But i loved the first tale, it was giving me different theories
in the second movie, i noticed in the begging the Sewing machin in the first tale
The third one had a good ending and i actually loved all of the songs in the movie (u can find the soundtracks)
so... its a 9 out of 10 scary points . But i LOVED this movie . i watch it AGAIN AND AGAINNN
For me each story is about transformation and influence.
1. Mama and Papa, transform into furniture, once they destroy the things that connected them to a past life.
2. The Rat embrace the wilderness within, due to frustration and the pressure of money in a civilized life.
3. The Cat learn to let go of the house and be free, living the journey instead of the destination.
10/10 creepy
9/10 for me.
Way too creepy.
This movie needs to blow up, ut doesn't have as much recognition as it deserves.
It was so good, and the messages were amazing and strong
I fully agree. I really liked it and loved the animation style!
I really was surprised I thought it was just a one story kind of movie
So cool that Mia goth was one of the voice actors!
I thought this was funny then when you said the doll could be sitting next to your bed now i cant sleep
I wish they made each bit a little longer. Like part 1 could have gone on and have its own movie. Overall a good movie tho
Yeah I could have watched a whole feature on part 1!
I found ‘the house’ kind of terrifying, which I find quite strange since I love the film coraline 😅 fantastic animation, I can only imagine how long this must’ve took to make 👏
I think the themes add a lot to the overall horror. Parents who betray their children. Having a problem not only overtake you but draw you in to be part of the thing you're trying to defeat. The obsession of a person who wants to fix the house's problems is overtaken--like the original The Haunting movie. This will go down as one of the classic horror films.
The first ans third story was the best
I really loved the house and I thought each story really gave different and interesting vibes. The second story with the insects was my favorite.
It kinda reminded me of Carolina, bit of salad fingers and dhmis a bit, and the stop animation short foxed
And love hate it 😍😖
And yes it’s there’s three stories but after the first story I just wanted to know more and what happened but also don’t want to know what happened 😝😅
if u have not noticed its set in the past present and future
wanna the most creepy netflix show for me?? midgnight mass it came as a premiere but it didnt disappoint
My dream would have been to voice over of the characters in this movie
I thought it was mid then went back and The mouse story took me down
Great movie one of the best I’ve seen in a while
it is so beautifully made
Imagine watching this on shrooms
The films imo got gradually worse in quality and increased in aimlessness. The first one was horribly creepy but interesting as was the second one (although it was a bit boring for a bit of it) the last one was just dull imo
Oh poop I thought they were unrelated stories and stopped after the mother and father story… shit was wild
I watched the movie while high and was glued to the tv 😂
Art without beauty, evolution or mistery of the soul is just nihilistic backround noise that damages you bit by bit.
The first one was fucking terrifying. The best out of all three in my opinion.
The house in this movie is the evil version of Casitra from Encanto XD
Does anyone know anymore movies or shows like this??
did anyone notice that Mabel's dolls at the beginning were rats?
Yes that’s a great Easter egg isn’t it!
Personally the ending of the second movie just shows his true self, the vermin
What this type of movie/animation called?
Does this movie have jumpscares?
tea
this is weirdly cute for me
I like creepy 🍿
Creeped me the way Coraline did
This movie was boring as shit, I fell asleep halfway through
