This is unlike anything I've ever seen before. Stop-motion is generally a cool medium, but "The Wolf House" takes it to a whole new level. The film comprises of wall paintings and rough models, that morph into each other throughout the film. As the camera moves, the set around it changes. The wall colour changes, furniture moves around, etc. Its so visually striking that you can't take your eyes of it. It took 5 years to make, and I can see why. Everything is so detailed. They could have made it easy for themselves, but instead went as far as possible to make an incredible film. The jolty camera and rough models make the film very eerie to watch. Despite not having any jump scares or violence, it is very grotesque and terrifying. On top of that the dialogue is chilling. The characters whisper into your ear, it literally gave me chills. I'd say use headphones or surround sound speakers to watch this, cause hearing the dialogue like it's coming from a person whispering into your ear really adds to the experience. Story wise, it's very weird. There's obviously a hidden meaning behind, buts It's not very clear. The dialogue is very ambiguous at times so don't worry if you're not getting the story, this films more about the visuals.

I wanted to like this movie, but just couldn't get into it. Firstly I do not like Daniel Craig's accent, it annoys me. It's not too bad that I would hate the movie for it, but I just wanna point that out. I also hate the can't lie without vomiting idea. It's just a lazy way to solve a plot point. To be fair the "whodunnit" movies are not easy to achieve. Lots of movies struggle to come up with a satisfying ending that would exceed the viewers expectations. Sadly Knives Out fails to have a satisfying reveal and falls flat because of it.
