The House (2022)	comment	The House is a 2022 stop-motion animated Anthology Film divided into three chapters, each one with its own directors: Emma de Swaef and Marc James Roels, Niki Lindroth von Bahr, and Paloma Baeza. It stars Matthew Goode, Claudie Blakley, Mia Goth, Jarvis Cocker, Susie Wokoma, Helena Bonham Carter, Paul Kaye, and Will Sharpe. It premiered on Netflix on January 14, 2022.The film takes place in a mysterious stately home somewhere in England, and though the time period, characters, and personal challenges all shift depending on the chapter, all of them focus on how the residents cope with the strange and often nightmarish side-effects of living there - along with other threats from outside the house.The three chapters are as follows: I - And heard within, a lie is spun: At some point in the 19th century an impoverished former member of the gentry by the name of Raymond is unexpectedly approached by a wealthy architect and given an unprecedented opportunity to live in a mansion once again. Raymond, his wife Penny, and young daughters Mabel and Isobel all move into the house in short order, and are immediately overjoyed by the new standard of luxury in their life. Unfortunately, with her parents all but entranced by the place, Mabel soon discovers that their new home might just be more than they'd bargained for... II - Then lost is truth that can't be won: In the 21st century, a property developer (who just happens to be an anthropomorphic rat) renovates the house in preparation for display and sale, and with the bank breathing down his neck, begins cutting corners wherever possible. Alas, the developer soon finds that the house has a pest problem that not even his best efforts can get rid of. And in the disastrous aftermath of the viewing, the only buyers are a strange couple with a decidedly unhealthy interest in the house... III - Listen again and seek the sun: In the distant future, floods have consumed most of the area, but somehow the house still stands. Now owned by Rosa (an anthropomorphic cat), it's inhabited only by her and two other tenants (also cats); none of said tenants can pay her in anything other than fish and stones, frustrating Rosa's efforts to renovate the house. Things only get worse when hippy cat Cosmos arrives with an offer to help rebuild the house, and with the floodwaters continuously rising, Rosa has to confront the fact that her dreams of finding new tenants and house a financial success might all be for nothing...

As her parents grow more neglectful, she steps in to care for baby sister and miraculously doesn't break down in tears when the House continues to torment her.

Too good to be true, indeed, as he and the House eventually corrupts Raymond and Penny into obsession with materialism, reaching its peak by making them burn their treasured belongings and turning them into furniture, before finally dooming them to burn alive.

The House (2022) / int_21d70919	comment	Crapsack World: All three chapters take place in very gloomy settings in their own way, and the House is often even worse: In chapter 1, the setting is a lonely 19th century countryside where the rich look down on the poor and Van Schoonbeek plays sick games on the desperate for apparently little more than his sick amusement. The House, meanwhile, is an Eldritch Location that preys on the residents. In chapter 2, there's a recession on, the supermarket can't get anything right, and the only way to sell a house is to cut corners wherever possible. However, it's not made clear if the rest of the world is like this or if staying in the house has given the developer bad luck, though if the potential customers and the police are of any indication it is a full blown World of Jerkass. Furthermore, the House is a bug-infested nightmare where nothing works and the developer's efforts to improve it all come to nothing. In chapter 3, the world has been flooded, the population has been forced to seek higher ground or take up a permanently seabound life, and the waters continue to rise. The House continues to fall to pieces, and ultimately proves to be an anchor keeping Rosa from leaving despite the danger of drowning.

However, as sweet as this is, it's still undeniably creepy because the Developer has been driven insane by the Odd Couple's unwanted squatting... and the family are starting to look very weird. And the final scene features the Developer regressing to animal intelligence and joining the family of giant beetles in destroying all his hard work.

We never find out what happened to them, so they may have survived, however, and the track that plays during the ending coupled with the sun rising in the distance suggests hope instead of despair. Mr. Thomas. Unlike Mabel and Isobel, he's never seen escaping and his chances don't look nearly as good given the state he was last seen in, though frankly dying could be considered preferable to servitude to Van Schoonbeek.

This is an early sign that he's being transformed into a piece of furniture.

The House (2022) / int_3ac583f4	comment	Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: Slides from the latter to the former as each story progresses. Chapter I is pure psychological horror without any comedy or levity, with the characters doomed to fail against an Ambiguously Human Invincible Villain. Chapter II is still bleak, but it's not afraid to interject the darkness with comedy and the character's dilemmas are much more his own fault than anyone else's. Chapter III completely discards the cynicism, has the sympathetic protagonists overcome their issues, and ends the last story with an unambiguously happy ending.

The House (2022) / int_3b113b7	type	Character Development
The House (2022) / int_3b113b7	comment	Character Development: If one considers The House itself as a character - and considering its able to exert its will through the unusual goings on, it may as well - it actually has a very subtle sembalance of thought and arc going on: In the first segment it's built by Schoonbeek to toy with a family. While it does this masterfully, it also ultimately leaves it witnessing an act of love while destroying what could have been a happy home and driving a child and her baby sister into the snow. In the second story, after an untold time falling apart, the Developer takes a chance with The House. At first nothing supernatural really happens as The House seeming allows his renovations go unimpeded. As he cuts corners all over the place, and the open house event fails to actually bring in a new family to make The House a home, it opts to make the strange elderly Couple and their family as a last resort. It fails to take into account that, as former bugs, they don't have any money to actually buy The House with. And their squatting, coupled with the Developer's fraying mind ultimately leads to them acting like the insects they are, and causes the Developer to devolve into a verminous state (respectively), fully destroying its interior and whatever actual improvements that were made. In the last segment The House seems to not do anything particularly supernatural, but it's influence is implied to be what makes Rosa obsessed with making it a home(as well as ignore the fact that the tenants can't pay her due to circumstance), and draw Cosmo in. It allows Cosmo to renovate it and as everyone leaves, Rosa pleads with The House to let her go, which ultimately allows her to make the choice to embrace change, and allows The House to survive in a new world as a boat.

The House (2022) / int_3b3d8430	comment	The Constant: The House, of course, remains present throughout all three segments — in the 19th century, in the 21 century, and in the post-apocalyptic future. It starts out as a lone mansion on a forested hillside, becomes a townhouse in the middle of a city, before finally becoming the only building still above the waterline. And then it becomes a boat, escaping its foundations to become part of the new seagoing society of this post-apocalyptic world.

She even insists on demanding money instead of fish from Elias, claiming that she needs the money to renovate the House... even though money is essentially useless, there's nobody selling what she'd need to improve the building anyway, and the fish would probably be more useful under the circumstances.

However on an isolated island, what they have is actually invaluable to survive (Elias can fish, Jen keeps her emotionally stable and has a garden, and Cosmos is a handyman). It's implied on some level that part of the reason Rosa is high-strung and deluding herself is because she's upset that she doesn't have skills like the others do and views the House as all she is worth. Elias is also constantly portrayed as being incredibly guilty about not being able to pay, even being driven to tears in the first confrontation.

This turns out to be a disastrous strategy: his renovations are based on style over substance, with him trying to impress potential buyers with expensive fittings and appliances while necessities like taps barely work. Meanwhile, his attempts to kill the bugs are all surface and do nothing about the thousands of bugs lurking under the floorboards.

Unfortunately two officers who come to the door a moment later are only there to issue a warning from his dentist, but they leave in a huff without bothering to listen to his complaint, presumably having written him off as a mentally-ill stalker - though admittedly, the Developer doesn't help his case by acknowledging his harassment. As such, there's no visible response to his actual call to the police, to the point that nobody notices him being removed from the hospital by the accused squatters, or that the horde of people who came in never left and are crawling up walls.

The House (2022) / int_6bda9a30	comment	Meaningful Name: a trait almost all the characters share across the stories is how their names describe them. In the First story: Raymond: Germanic in origin, combining words for "advice" and "protector." Advice plays a key role in what happens to him and he ultimately helps to protect his daughter from the fire he set. Penelope: Greek for "Weaver" she hand sews many of the families' fabrics, and the point her obsession grows around are drapes she wants to make which she also uses to save her daughters. Isobel: Hebrew for "God's Promise" who is saved by everyone else from the House's influence to live on. Mabel: Derived from the Latin word for "Lovable". She's the main character for the first story and her parents love for her and Isobel is what has them ultimately subvert The House's will and save them from their fate. Schoonbeek: Low Germanic combo of "beautiful" and "creek." As a Jewish name, notably, it is ornamental. The second story in stark contrast to the others, has no named characters apart from a reference to the previous story in Isobel. They only have their titles and pet names. This is implied to be in order to ultimately see them how the house itself sees them, as vermin. In the third story: Elias: Variant of Elijah, who biblically led the Israelites to God. It's revealed that he was planning on leaving the House's island, and leads the others, including Rosa, to eventually follow suit to freedom. Jen: Welsh for "Fair One," "White and Smooth" and "soft." She's the one Rosa is the most open with in conversation, and is gentle and spiritual in how she tries helping her friend understand what she's doing is hurting herself. Another translation of the name is "White Wave", and she lives in a world swallowed by water which she joins her friends in riding on top of, like a wave. Cosmos: Aside from the obvious, it's also British/Italian for "order," "decency" and "beauty." He's an outside influence who proves to be just what everyone, including the house, needs. Rosa: Means "little rose" and biblically is associated with the Virgin Mary, connecting to not only Rosa's obsession with fixing the house making her ignore Elias' subtle attraction to her, but also the fact that she is the Matriarch of the house. It's also a more on the nose connection to the flower and How Rosa emotionally blooms by understanding how alone she'll really be and embracing change.

At first nothing supernatural really happens as The House seeming allows his renovations go unimpeded. As he cuts corners all over the place, and the open house event fails to actually bring in a new family to make The House a home, it opts to make the strange elderly Couple and their family as a last resort. It fails to take into account that, as former bugs, they don't have any money to actually buy The House with. And their squatting, coupled with the Developer's fraying mind ultimately leads to them acting like the insects they are, and causes the Developer to devolve into a verminous state (respectively), fully destroying its interior and whatever actual improvements that were made.

It foreshadows the family's fate, but at the same time symbolizes Mabel's love of her old familiar life instead of her strange new materialistic one.

The House (2022) / int_9bee1a7f	comment	Eldritch Location: There's something very strange about the House, especially in Chapter 1: It can be rebuilt without anyone hearing the noise, food appears on the dinner table without any sign of servants or catering staff, the upper-story corridors turn into an impassable labyrinth, Mabel and Isobel fall asleep in the attic and wake up to find themselves outside the drawing room, and the House somehow manages to survive the drawing room fire. In chapter 2, the developer seems cursed with bad luck simply by staying here, as things keep breaking and insects keep returning to the building no matter how many times the developer exterminates them, even mutating them into beings capable of impersonating potential buyers - assuming they weren't like that before. In Chapter 3, Alien Geometries return with a vengeance when Rosa falls into the basement, only to wind up in Cosmos' tent... and in the ending, the House is so weird that Cosmos is somehow able to modify it into a sailing ship with the contents of a standard toolkit.

The House (2022) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: After finishing the renovations, the Developer tells his lover that he managed to save three thousand pounds in the process, and is apparently told "piss off", a statement the Developer seems to believe is being said in the context of "I don't believe you." It's actually being used in the context of "piss off and leave me alone." The guy he's calling isn't his lover after all, but a dentist that he's been harassing with unwanted advances. In the Developer's living quarters (read: the basement) there is a poster for a dental practice on the wall. His "lover" is later revealed to be his dentist, with the poster likely serving as a basis for his delusion. While poisoning the bugs, the Developer doesn't wear a mask and can often be heard coughing; notably, the first bug-killing scene cuts to him lying in the middle of a floor covered in pesticide and dead insects, suggesting that he might have passed out. This lack of safety precautions ultimately results in the Developer accidentally poisoning himself while trying to kill the Odd Couple, leading to his hospital visit and final descent into madness. The Odd Couple ask about the House's insulation, and seem very happy when it turns out to made from natural fabrics. It's because, as giant insects, they're intent on eating the stuff. Also, the Odd Couple are seen wearing bathrobes with cockroach patterns. They're actually insects themselves.

Cue phone getting put down. The Developer makes a phone call to the police about the Odd Couple, whilst his own doorbell is being rung. When he answers it, he's greeted by two police officers, and in spite of the fact he had just phoned the station seconds ago, believes they're here in response to that. Instead, and furthermore, the police are there to tell the Developer that his Dentist, whom he believes is his lover, is threatening to press charges against him if he continues to harass and stalk him with unwanted advances. The Developer's response is to acknowledge he has been doing this but also state he's done nothing wrong and that it's not important to his own grievances.

The difference is Mr. Pratt is a rich man living up in a fancy condo, looking down at what he sees as the poor people, while the Developer is a poor rat living in a basement, looking up at the buyers who are his only chance at getting out of his financial problems. And in the end Mr. Pratt dies from his obsession to rid his home of the bugs, while the Developer accepts the vermin and becomes one of them himself.

The House (2022) / int_e0aced16	comment	Giggling Villain: Exaggerated with Van Schoonbeek—he only giggles throughout the entire story. What makes it worse is that he's capable of speech, since we see him talking normally from a distance, and so he's choosing to do nothing but let out high-pitched chuckles whenever he appears.

The House (2022) / int_e0aed924	comment	No Antagonist: Unlike the first two segments, this one's devoid of any antagonistic characters; the conflict comes from Rosa's stubborn refusal to let go of the lost cause that is fixing the house and how she comes to grips with the ugly truth of everything.

The House (2022) / int_e2f13529	comment	In chapter 2, there's a recession on, the supermarket can't get anything right, and the only way to sell a house is to cut corners wherever possible. However, it's not made clear if the rest of the world is like this or if staying in the house has given the developer bad luck, though if the potential customers and the police are of any indication it is a full blown World of Jerkass. Furthermore, the House is a bug-infested nightmare where nothing works and the developer's efforts to improve it all come to nothing.

The House (2022) / int_e34400ab	comment	Ambiguously Gay: It is revealed that the supposed lover the Developer has been talking to throughout the story is in fact his male dentist. However, it's not made clear if he actually is gay or if living in the House has made him delusional enough to mistake the dentist for a woman, although he doesn't seem particularly upset when the facts are brought to his attention. Earlier on he talks about his "relationship" to a clearly male investor though he might have meant it in a more professional tone.

The House (2022) / int_e543a655	comment	Light Is Not Good: As noted by some reviewers there is a strong light motif in the series: In the first segment Van Schoobeek comes in a lit carriage, the parents are hypnotized and corrupted by the electric lights and Mabel and Isobel are drawn to the light of the fire, that consumes everything. In the second segment the one gadget that the Developer tries to show the most is a bulb in the oven, which fails him when he needs it most. In the final segment the world is covered by an eerie white fog. But Light Is Good is also present as an emancipated Rosa follows the light of the sun at the end.

By the end of the story, he's also engineered the corruption of Mabel's parents, followed swiftly by their deaths.

Given that this process is somehow accomplished without anyone seeing or hearing it happen, it's a sure sign that something is horribly wrong with the place. Mabel, Isobel, and Mr. Thomas all end up trapped in the upper floors of the building by the end, driving Thomas to a sobbing meltdown.

Later its revealed that he is possibly gay, if he isn't just deluding himself into thinking his dentist is his wife, or girlfriend. (Though he could also be deluding himself into thinking the dentist is his husband or boyfriend.) This, coupled with the fact that he's middle aged and is staring someone described as elderly, seems to point to him being more shocked than anything.

However, after completely losing his mind in the finale, he throws it away. More specifically, he kicks it away with his hind leg, having regressed to animal intelligence and chewed off all his other items of clothing.
