I dispute the classification of this film by IMDB as a "dark comedy". That appellation would lead me to expect something lighter in tone - maybe akin to "South Park", which CAN be both funny and dark. What I got was more like an animated horror story - SAW done with puppets. Woe betide the parent who decides that a stop-motion animation film might be suitable for their children to watch. That may be true in general, but "The House" sure isn't a candidate!

This is a film with three unique stories that have one thing in common; the house. The first story was strange yet very engaging and I loved the style of the puppet people. Story #2 with the mice was awful and story #3 with the cats was not any better. If the script was better this would have been outstanding. Or just lengthen the first story as the entire film. Hard to describe the hyper vague plots of these but the stop motion animation was a great charge from the usual. The first story presented the most meat to chew on, while the others appeared to be were really disconnected within themselves, between their own scenes, from making any sense. Who knows, this may click better for you.

While it may seem that the three stories are disconnected, they all allude to the human condition. The first story is about the pursuit of material wealth which humans associate with happiness. However, the obsession with material wealth consumes them and paradoxically drives them further away from the contentment that they desire. If one is constantly looking for more, nothing is ever enough. The second story is a metaphor for the plague that humankind is on the planet. The house is planet Earth, the only home we have; the bugs are what we humans deem as pests, which have every claim to this planet as we do; and the rats are us. The bank is climate change and the call to action to correct our parasitic behaviour before we burn our house down. The final story is an indictment of the property market which goes against the basic human right to a home by discriminating against those who fail to play by society's arbitrary rules. The House holds a mirror up to us and beckons us to take a good hard look. Those in denial will reject these messages, so it is "preaching to the converted". Watching this is still one hell of a ride and the stop motion animation is a joy to behold.
