it have be say that hausu be like beetlejuice a direct by dario argento and only about ten time well than that would be . while this description be admittedly vague and it hard to think of one that come any closer to be satisfactory . nobuhiko obayashi film defies comparison and seamlessly blending comedy and horror and and gorgeous visuals in a way that really must be witness in order to be appreciate . the plot itself be nothing very new and and be a kind of supernatural take on agatha christie ten little indian seven japanese girl venture off to visit grandmother in her big and spooky house and unaware that the house be in fact a demon that consume virgin . one by one and they be kill in increasingly bizarre way one be eat by a piano and one by bed and to go on would be give away far too much . but the story isn not really what important here . suffice it to say you have never see a film like this before part satire and part camp and part come of age story and merge with horror that be truly disturb . the laugh be terrific and the scare be genuine while you may often feel unsure whether to laugh or shudder and and do not be surprise to catch yourself do both at once . a if this weren not enough and add to that obayashi completely unique visual flair while not a single shot go by without astound imagery and effect . it be impossible to adequately describe hausu for someone who hasn not see it . but if what i have write have make it sound even the slight bit interest to you and you owe it to yourself to seek it out and see for yourself . oh and and there be no subtitle and but you do not need them . seriously .
