I actually really liked this movie. I wasnt sure really what to expect going into it and i still dont know if I can quite explain it if someone asked me what it was about. The movie im thinking of ending things feels very simmilar to this one in that some things just cant be explained. Its the lack of explanation thats done so well that makes movies like The house so good. Anyways it being stopmotion adds so much to this as a whole. There are so many paralells between all the stories I really do wonder if its all meant to take place in the same house. Lets start with the first story. Its so grey to start off and it had me wondering if it was going to get any better. it did. I think this story is about the effects of getting to attached to our matireal things that we forget what really matters. Like I sadi I dont think I should try and explain it too much but this first story is def the most unsetteling one. Its so strange and it reminds me of coraline. The second little short is also really good and I think is trying to say that patching up a big problem with a convienent solution doesnt last. The more I think about it the more I think the three short films are about climate change. How we are so infatuated in matiral things, ignore problems until they cant be ignored aymore, and the last one I think just ties in with the oceans rising. The second short was so normal until the big rat and little rat entered the picutre. It lowkey creeped me out and The whole thing with him talking to his dentist is even werider. Not somethign I really expected to see after the first short but it staerted to make sence at the end when we find out what was really going on. The third short way by far my favorite. I think the characters were lovable and fun. It also brought in personal struggle and moving on with life. I mean its the only one that has a cute and happy ending and I think its jsut the perfect way to end the movie as a whole. Like I said I reallly liked this movie as a whole and I might watch it again. I would reccomend this to anyone who likes unsetteling movies and anyone who enjoyed coraline a little to much as a kid (me). I give this a 7/10.
