wow . noribuki obayashi hausu aka . house of 1977 be easily one of the weird film i ever saw and i generally generally be a fan of the bizarre . a horror fan and avid lover of japanese cinema and especially from the 70 and i have high expectation for this film and and i be not disappointed and even though the film be totally different than what i have expect . have read no review of the film before see it and i expect a pure horror film and but it turn out to be an incomparably bizarre and experimental horror parody and with a delightfully macabre and grotesque humor rather than scare . the film already start out extremely strange ( in an awesome manner ) and and it gradually get weird and weird a it go on . the film start off with a bunch of teenage high school girl and all of whom have certain distinctive characteristic that be mention in their nickname and who travel to the countryside to visit the aunt of one of the girl . i do not want to spoil even a tiny bit of the plot of this unique horror parody and and therefore would not carry with a plot description and but i can assure that fan of surrealism and weird cinema will be delight . while hausu be not a film i would recommend to everyone and this be an absolute must see to all my fellow fan of japanese film and the horror genre and bizarre art house cinema . director obayashi use a bizarre of edit imaginable and with grotesque cut and totally insane effect . sometimes the editing equal that of a ( bizarre ) video clip and only to jump to an entirely different style . yet all this strangeness never draw the viewer away from the story and which be itself just as surreal a the film style . overall hausu can be describe a a unique and bizarre fairy tale with a grotesque and ingenious and often macabre and always unique sense of humor . there be moment in this film at which the viewer will just stare at the screen not know what to think and and scene at which one be barely able to breathe in laughter and and every second of the film be very strange . very delightfully strange that be and a hausu be a bizarre gem that must not be miss by lover of the surreal . mainstream audience might not know what to think of this and but every fan of a more unique form of cinema should give this a try . surreal and exceptional and and one of a kind .
