a review of 狼屋

Watched this one last week on Shudder, one of the spookiest animated films I've ever seen. It uses pretty much every technique of analogue animation (2D hand-drawn/3D stop-motion/pixilated live action) to tell an allegorical story about an escapee from a cult in South America. It plays out in a surreal dream space that feels like a melding of The Evil Dead and Eraserhead, where the "haunted house" exists as a reflection of the characters' mental states and vice versa.
