Review of The House

The House (III) (2022)
1/10
Dark with no comedy (depressing pointless parables)
17 January 2022
Let me start by saying my rating in no way reflects the voice acting which was good.

That being said I found everything else horrible.

What this is essentially is 3 parables that they try to thinly connect by saying it's the same house in each parable which is razor thin cuz the house does not appear to be even remotely similar in any of the 3 stories except for a few things they throw in to try to make the connection from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd, but if you were to just look 1st to 3rd there is zero connection to say that is the same house.

The moral of each parable is as old as time, absolutely nothing new here. There is no pleasure to be derived from the stories themselves, unless you find dancing cockroaches in stop motion animation funny.

Now if you're a glutton for punishment or if you like stories where the protagonist struggles and suffers until they give up then maybe you'll enjoy this.

To me instead of dark comedy adult animation as it's listed it would better be called children's horror.

On top of all that I found their version of stop motion animation to be off putting the whole time and very unenjoyable to watch.

All in all I thought it was an awful waste of time and by the time I was halfway through the 2nd I was hoping that there would be a bright spot to this just so it wasn't a complete waste of time, a few minutes into the third I was just wishing it would end.

So watch at your own risk, but if you've read all this then at least you know what you're getting yourself into.
