No matter how many movies you’ve seen in your life, you’ve never seen anything like the Chilean stop-motion animation The Wolf House. The film is based on Colonia Dignidad, the post–World War II colony-turned-cult of German emigrants that interned and tortured Chilean dissidents. The Wolf House takes the form of an animated fairy tale produced by the leader of the cult to indoctrinate its followers. The film’s story follows Maria, a young woman who has escaped the colony and taken refuge in a home occupied solely by two pigs. Through indescribably inventive and surprising animation techniques, the house is a constantly shifting landscape of nightmares and astonishing visuals. In Spanish and German with English subtitles. (73 mins., DCP)  

Goreometer: 2 / 4
