Synopsis

A young lady named Maria loses three pigs owned by a German settlement cloistered in the mountains of Southern Chile. Sentenced to a hundred days of solitary confinement, she chooses to escape into the woods, where she finds refuge in a deserted house. But Maria doesn’t get a happy ending just yet—she is haunted by a malevolence that morphs her very reality.

The Wolf House is inspired by the infamous Colonia Dignidad, a German commune that doubled as a secret torture camp under Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. Directors Cristóbal León and Joaquín Cociña distill the horrors of history into a hellish folk tale, crudely animated with rough-hewn models and disintegrating sets that challenge the polished nature of mainstream animation. The result is sinister and hypnotic. If David Lynch directed animation, this would be it.
