The House consists of three episodes about a massive house in three different timelines. It is a stop-action animated film; in the film, three stories are told, all involving a creepy house that feels like it’s bigger inside than it is outside. In the first story, an impoverished family in the 1800s is given an offer they can’t refuse. Raymond (Matthew Goode) is shamed by his grouchy relatives when they come to see baby Isobel (Elanor De Swaef-Roels). He wanders the woods drunk, and receives an offer from an eccentric millionaire named Van Schoonbeck (Barney Pilling); he’ll build his family a mansion for free if they abandon their modest house. The house is huge and a bit airless, and older daughter Mabel finds that the millionaire is constantly making changes, and his representative, Mr Thomas (Mark Heap), is losing his mind. In the second story, a house flipper (Jarvis Cocker) has put all his resources into renovating the mansion. He ends up completing it mostly by himself until he finds an infestation of fur beetles. Still, an open house is coming and he wants to make sure the house is ready. Most of the prospective buyers there show little interest, except for an odd couple. The third story is also an unusual one. The House bills itself as a dark comedy. But in reality, it’s more “dark” than “comedy”.
