KimStim Films has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of Joaquín Cociña and Cristóbal León's The Wolf House (2018). The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on May 21.
Description: Evoking Colonia Dignidad, an infamous torture colony operating during the Pinochet regime, The Wolf House is an animated film unlike any other, and an exquisitely handcrafted surrealist docu-horror-fairy tale about one of Chile's darkest periods. It begins with Mary, a young girl who hides in a mysterious house in southern Chile after escaping from a sect of German religious fanatics. Using stop-motion techniques and combining elements of various fables, photography, drawing, sculpture, and stage performance, Joaquín Cociña, and Cristóbal León have created a nightmarish shapeshifter of a film.
