A fraught fever dream of a fairy tale from Chile inspired in part by the nightmarish goings-on at the Pinochet regime's "Colonia Dignidad" torture colony, The Wolf House is something like a Little Red Riding Hood narrated by the wolf, an unpredictable, malevolent shape-shifter of a movie shot over five years of painstaking labor, much of it on the extraordinary stop-motion effects that make up its bulk. A film of constant disorienting transformations and smothering claustrophobia, showing the spirit of unsettling experimental animation found in the works of Walerian Borowczyk, Jan Lenica, and Jan Švankmajer is alive and well.

Press Quotes
'I remembered having seen this brilliant Chilean stop-motion monstrosity that was really one of the most amazing things that I had ever seen... There's nothing else that's ever been made that's like THE WOLF HOUSE.' -- Ari Aster
—Ari Aster, Quote in Indiwire.com
'The Wolf House' reminds us that fairy tales are powerful because, once upon a time, we were all young enough to believe them.
—David Ehrlich, Indiewire
Its visual landscape is unlike any I've experienced, and though everything about it is aggressively repellant, it still managed to hold me in a constant state of gobsmacked awe.
—Matt Fagerholm, RogerEbert.com
It's the Disney's Golden Age enchantment by way of horror master Wes Craven, done with resourceful virtuosity.
—Carlos Aguilar, The Wrap
