Body My House

About This Movie

Body My House is a curious blend of animation and horror that stands out with its stop-motion craft. The creators use handmade miniatures, bringing a tactile feel to the haunting visuals. It's loosely linked to Poe's 'Fall of the House of Usher,' which gives it that eerie, decaying atmosphere. The time-lapse techniques they employ really add this ethereal layer, pulling you into a dreamlike state. You can feel the weight of space, as explored in Bachelard’s 'Poetics of Space,' and it definitely adds depth to the overall experience. The collaboration with Colin Wheeler is evident in the way the scenes unfold, creating a rhythm that's both unsettling and mesmerizing. Not your typical animated fare, that's for sure.
