Inviso: This is an anthology movie, and its very much a case of diminishing returns in terms of the chronological progression of the film. The first story is actually somewhat interesting, as it builds up this weird, horror vibe with a pair of parents slowly going insane as they become overwhelmed by the assumed beauty of their new home. Meanwhile, their children are the only ones who sense that somethings wrong, and yet theyre powerless to do anything about it. The whole story gets more and more sinister, culminating in their parents becoming a chair and curtains, respectively. Its a weird horror story, but it works in a kind of animation makes it more of a Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark sort of way.
Unfortunately, after a strong opening, the other two segments are far worse. The second vignette is about a rat realtor (the anthropomorphization of the second and third segments feels weird and unnecessary, btw), slowly going crazy as he realizes the house he invested his lifes savings into is infested with bugs, and then the few buyers hes able to attract turn out to be weird, rat-oid (as opposed to humanoid) bugs themselves. And after THAT unsettling tale (which Ill give credit for it at least being unsettling), we get a weird story about a house caught in a flood, and the cat landlady is getting increasingly annoyed at her deadbeat tenants, who are also her only friends. And the end result is everyone getting on a boat and sailing out to sea? Its a whole lotta nonsense, IMO, and its just an extremely weak ending to cap of a weak middle, which is disappointing after the strong opener.
