1h 13m
Directed by Cristóbal León and Joaquín Cociña • Animation • 2018 • 72 minutes
Maria, a young woman finds refuge in a house in the south of Chile after escaping from a sect of German religious fanatics. She is welcomed into the home by two pigs, the only inhabitants of the place. Like in a dream, the universe of the house reacts to Maria’s feelings. The animals transform slowly into humans and the house becomes a nightmarish world. Inspired on the actual case of Colonia Dignidad, “The Wolf House” masquerades as an animated fairy tale produced by the leader of the sect in order to indoctrinate its followers.
"A creative tour de force whose endlessly fascinating visuals are deliberately seductive and repellent in equal measure." —Hollywood Reporter
