house ( hausu ) have to be see to believe and preferably with a full audience in a theater or with some friend really for anything that can happen in a movie . the haunted house of this movie provide the kind of freakish nightmare thing and just total bizarre flash of comedy that you wouldn not be able to find in a manga . and the style of the film that set up this kind of not exactly be it ghost story be already warp to a trippy state of thing . if you think you have see weird and pick up this movie on video or try to find whenever it playing at an art house or wherever and and give it a shot . you will be surprised and befuddle and laugh all the way home . it about . oh dear me and it about i guess seven girl ( name prof and sweet and kung fu and mac ) who go with one of the girl to her auntie house for the summer . this after the one girl have become distraught and confuse a to what to do or say to her composer father ( so good leone think i be good than morricone haha line ) and and there be not much else to do one guess that to go off to an auntie house . if this sound like a thin plot it because it be . but house and from it director ( first timer . ) obayashi and be not like any other film you might have see . it not original in it premise exactly i be sure there be other j horror movie or just slasher movie with a crazy killer wait for victim to come but it be an original film . so original and in fact and it sometimes threaten to come apart at the seam and explode in front of the audience . the pace be fast fast fast and then slow for a little and then bang there it go again . a flashback to 1940s era japan for one of the girl be see by all of the girl a if in an old newsreel . when they get to the house and or even before that with the watermelon salesman and there some inkling of trouble . the auntie be always excite to see if theyre hungry or if she be . a well have a float head come out . a piano eat someone who play for too long . and a cat also get in on the killing or maiming or whatever action and a lot . indeed if you love those recent keyboard cat video on youtube and you may just about lose your cool with this one . it not a 100 % excellent execution of pure gonzo cinema ( one scene that go into that kind of choppy style one often see in wong kar wai be do at a couple of point that slow thing down and not in a good parody romantic way ) and but aside from a couple of minor complaint it a grand slam . it pure movie making in a great sense of the word and since it filmmaker be just so in love with do a kitchen sink with a kung fu grip with give a wide smile and lot and lot of blood in front a blue screen . you will laugh and you will . laugh some more and and give a few look like you just saw the most confusing thing in your life . hausu be a marvel that be bizarre for japan nevermind america and the rest of the world and and should be see by anyone interested in the kind of kick as do whatever for crazy art it take ( i. e. riki oh ) that you can not help but admire it even if youre leave speechless .
