One of the most diabolically twisted, beautifully stunning pieces of animation you'll ever see. 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.

Wonderful but mostly incomprehensible.

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!

Going into this having not heard a thing about it, I was not expecting an Art-house film that uses stop-motion with paper mache, cardboard, tape and paints as the primary materials. The crude-looking visuals certainly contribute a great deal to making ‘The Wolf House' very unsettling and creepy, but what really does it is the way they're used to tell a fairy tale-like story -- complete with allegories, a languid pace and narrators using soothing voices, as if speaking to children – that deals heavily with Nazi teachings/brainwashing. The combination is jarring and it creates a lot of uneasiness that increases as the film goes on, culminating in a particularly disturbing ending. This obviously isn't the type of film to do well at the box office and it probably won't be for everyone, but this surreal experience with impressive visuals (massive kudos to the Art Director and artists) will stick with you, one way or another.

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

I cannot begin to comprehend exactly how this movie was made and the inhuman amount of work that was there (together with overflowing creativity) to get this unique, quite flawless result. The Chilean animation is not only one of the most terrifying films I've ever seen (with zero jump scares), but a true work of art, employing fascinating visual techniques to tell a truly disturbing story inspired from real events and taking the form of an anecdote for children, slightly resembling the Three Little Pigs story. León and Cociña's eerie shots together with the superb narration of Amalia Kassai and Rainer Krausse make up for a haunting experience reeking of existential dread, invoking some primal fear in all of us.

Impressive animation cannot make up for a complete lack of story. I kept watching but a plot never emerges. Definitely watch the first 15 minutes because you've never seen animation like this before. Don't bother with the rest because it is time you will never get back.

Impossible to categorize. Has a confounding element, but must be seen to be believed.

A ingenious film about intergenerational trauma and intertexuality of universal myths as a form of liberation.

Full review on my blog max4movies: La Casa Lobo (international title: The Wolf House) is basically an animated dark fairy tale that achieves a wonderfully haunting atmosphere due to the unique and disturbing animation. It's an art movie in the truest sense of the word and the art direction – namely stop-motion animation with three-dimensional paintings and papier mâché characters – is stunning. While the characters remain mostly vague and the plot cryptic at best, the dreamlike quality and eerie atmosphere really take the crown. All in all, La Casa Lobo feels like you're watching a slowly evolving nightmare that, although it's not entirely yours, is still terrifyingly creepy.

Increíble trabajo de stop motion y técnicas de plastimación y cut out. El resultado es impresionante y la historia en que esta montada es muuuuy impactante.

Bizarre and leisurely in pace, and then increasingly sinister in tone. It starts with a fairytale premise - a frightened girl runs from a hungry wolf and seeks shelter in a weird house that shifts and changes. But who Maria is, how she relates to the wolf, what the wolf is, and how both of them relate to the other "lost children" morph and change. It's almost as though Maria and her charges evolve through several fairytale roles before Maria finally understands what she must do to have peace and safety at last. This movie is freaky and requires patience, but is also fascinating in how it uses evolving art to tell an eerie and haunting stop-motion story. I really liked this on several levels.

I rated the film 5 stars. Well, I am one of the directors, so maybe I am not that neutral.
