Netflix is moving into The House early next year and has shared the stunning first trailer from the animated anthology that’s directed by three of the leading voices in independent stop motion animation.
The House is an eccentric dark comedy about a house and the three surreal tales of the individuals who made it their home.
The second story, helmed by Niki Lindroth von Bahr, is the one that stands out as a potential genre story. The short is set in the present day, where a harassed property developer tries to make a quick sale from a renovation. However, some eerie unexpected guests have other plans and become the catalyst to a more personal transformation.
Emma de Swaef and Marc Roels, and Paloma Baeza also direct stories with the voice cast including Mia Goth, Matthew Goode, Claudie Blakley, Mark Heap, Joshua McGuire, Stephanie Cole, Miranda Richardson, Jarvis Cocker, Sven Wollter, Yvonne Lombard, Bimini Bon Boulash, Susan Wokoma, Helena Bonham-Carter, Paul Kaye, and Will Sharpe.
The House moves onto Netflix those coming January 14, 2022.
