Season 1 Review: The House may be the most delightfully strange project Netflix has ever put its money behind. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There’s more to The House than just watching a bunch of little fellas scoot their way around a cool-looking set. There’s a unifying theme here, involving characters who are captivated by this building, and who think they can they can make something out of it: a safe shelter, a profit, a community, et cetera.

Season 1 Review: With its dark humor and excellent execution, “The House” offers a striking showcase for the singular talents of its directors and the limitless possibilities of stop motion animation. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The House is certainly off-putting and weird at times, but the animation is great and the stories moved along just quickly enough to keep us interested. Read full review

Season 1 Review: While it isn’t exactly outright horror as many of us might understand it, there is something effectively nauseating about its imagery. I liked it; but I won’t be watching it ever again. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The story will also satisfy those who like their stop-motion animation served with a home-spun quality though, unlike Wes Anderson’s stab at the milieu, it’s still a long way short of fantastic. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Each story is directed by different independent animators, and though all of the roughly half-hour segments are handsomely made, the series as a whole lacks a sturdy foundation. Read full review

I loved this not only for the stunning, nuanced animation, but also for the fantastical yet grounded originality.

Being a witness to this, it generates a certain affection and discomfort at the same time, each one plunges you into a different nightmare with quite bittersweet conclusions, which leave you wanting to know more about these worlds.… Expand

Had a good time with this. Some better than others but overall a good time. Great animations and voice acting with it as well.

3 intriguing surrealist short stories set in and around a house. The casting is great and the stop motion animation makes a welcome change from the usual CGI that tends to be the norm.
