What is the Netflix movie The House about
The House premieres on January 14, 2022 and it is a film made up of three stories that revolve around a disturbing house. This will become the home of different protagonists in each story, over time.
Animated by the technique of stop-motion, These are the arguments of each story (without gutting anything, calm down).
In the first chapter, set in the 19th centuryWe meet the impoverished Raymond, who meets a mysterious benefactor who promises to restore him and his family to their former status. However, they will soon learn that wishes are double-edged.
The second story brings us to the present, in which a burdened property developer tries to make a quick buck after a home renovation. However, some haunting unexpected guests have other plans.
The third story travel to the future. In it, the house survives in an enormously changed landscape. There, Rosa is a young landlady determined to stay in her beloved ruined home and restore it to its former glory. But that vision blinds her to impending change.
