where do i even start with this movie . this be probably the goofy film i have ever see in my life . no . scratch that . this be the goofy film i have ever see in my life . i have hear hausu be a cult horror classic in japan . fine . i admit and i can see where it would be a cult classic just because it be so strange . and if you really legitimately like it and that fine . but i saw this with a bunch of student at a university screening . out of about 15 people and 3 walk out and 2 feel asleep and and the rest be either struggle to make sense of the crazy stuff they be watch or riff on it the entire time . and what really bother me be that in the post screen discussion . even though no one could accurately explain or make sense of what they just watch . even though half the audience be make fun of it the entire time . even though it be an absolute goofy mess and not one person say it be bad . now and this may just be me and but i be of the opinion that if you can not watch a movie without give it the mst3k treatment and it not a good movie . you may enjoy make fun of it . but that doesn not make it good . for example and future war be terrible . but you can have fun watch the mst3k version because they make fun of how terrible it be . that doesn not make the movie good . it just mean you can have fun make fun of it . now and if you legitimately like hausu and that fine . but do not say it a good movie if you think it be a confusing mess and or if the only way you could sit through it be by riff on it with your friend . i can not go into everything that bother me about the movie so i would not even try . every scene be pack with wtf laugh inducing moment . the plot . i think . be that this girl doesn not like her father girlfriend and go to her creepy aunt house with her friend . the aunt be a vampire . or maybe she a cat . no wait . maybe there be no aunt . no . wait . the cat be the aunt who suck life out of people so she can inhabit a body . and somehow this result in a guy get turn into banana . oh and there a watermelon salesman and who a skeleton . who might be sell head . or might be the aunt too . or the cat . crap . let me start over . okay and so there this girl who mad at her dad . so she go to her aunt with some friend . and they be pick off one by one . for some reason . because the house be alive . no . wait . the house be the aunt . who wait for her husband . who dead . or maybe he the watermelon salesman . but the watermelon be really head . or maybe it be just that one . or maybe there be no watermelon . dit . i can not into any depth try to explain the plot . these girl go to a house where theyre pick off one by one in the most ridiculous way imaginable . the girl be all annoy stereotype who do not act like logical people . you see and if i find a skeleton in a closet and i would think and hmm . maybe i should . get the f out of here . when the girl see it and they just buy the aunt crappy explanation . something about a doctor use the house a a hospital or something . no . skeleton should not be in closet . leave . your friend should not disappear mysteriously . leave . the only one who even remotely tolerable be kung fu . because she the only one who actually try to fight what happen to them . so and the character be annoy and the plot make no sense . aside from that . there be no logical editing . there be no logical structure to what happen . all of a sudden we cut to a really campy 70 humor montage of someone get stick in a bucket . all of a sudden and there a bear eat noodle with his friend in the middle of the big climax . all of a sudden and someone be bananas . the music be weird . the action scene be cut so that you can not tell what go on . what do kung fu do . you can not tell . all you know be that she apparently beat something up . the effect be weird . there be weird cartoon sequence . this movie be just weird . so why be it a 3 and not a 1. i find some of the cartoon integration with the live action footage inventive . i like some of the editing and even though it be crazy . i do like some of the scenery and some of the imagery . i love the way the girl be do in by their stereotyped personality element . and it be at least an interesting watch and even if it doesn not make any sense at all . overall this movie be goofy . it a confusing mess . and the part that aren not stereotypical horror clichés be absolutely insane . but what really bother me be that people weren not willing to say it be bad in public and even though they say so in private . again and if you really do like it . i be not attack you . i can see why this be a cult classic . but i do not like it and and i know other people do not like it and and i be write my review base on that . negative it a confuse mess with a few redeeming element . definitely recommend for mst3k home edition and or if you want to see something really weird .
