Oshare is excited about spending summer vacation with her father, until she finds out that his beautiful, freakishly serene girlfriend Ryouko would be going as well. Oshare decides she will be going t...( read more  read more... )o her grandmother's house in the country instead. She brings with her her friends from school - Fanta (who likes to take pictures, and daydreams a lot), KunFuu (who has very good reflexes), Gari (who is a major nerd), Sweet (who likes to clean), Mac (who eats a lot), and Melody (a musician). However, the girls are unaware that Oshare's grandmother is actually dead and the house is actually haunted. When they arrive at the house, crazy events take place and the girls disappear one by one while slowly discovering the secret behind all the madness.

    The trippiest horror movie/comedy/musical I've ever seen! Clearly made in the 70's.
  • March 6, 2009
    A horror/comedy/musical/experimental and surreal mix of styles, genres and what not. "Hausu" is one of the most unique movies i have ever seen. This was not ahead of it's time, it probably fell from some alternative dimension where kick ass stuff is part of everyone's daily meal....( read more) Dismissing this movie as a "camp fest" or making pointless comparisons with other movies and directors will be an injustice to the creative achievement that the director, and everyone involved here, managed to create. I seriously would love to see an interview with the director to know how was the creative process of such a delirious movie.

    It gets a 4 star rating for sheer unadulterated zaniness.
    It really is a mix of Evil Dead, Dario Argento, and Harold Lloyd with a touch of Benny Hill but through in 7 Japanese schoolgirls that just have the strangest and most terrible things happen to them.
    It's also on of the m...( read more)ost stylistically cut films I've ever seen, and really tries for excess.

    An influential, stylish, fun and incredibly entertaining masterpiece. It's terrible that this film isn't more widely known.
  • November 16, 2009
    Easily one of the most bizarre flicks ever made.Genius work.
  • October 26, 2009
    The first horror movie that isn't horror but a comedy but uses horror as a backdrop? isn't that such a weird combination though? still to this day (like Raimi's drag me to hell) it's like you wanna scare people but then all of a sudden you wanna make them laugh at the same time i...( read more)t's almost sadistic. But enough about 9/11

    great japanese horror, right here. i love the rotoscoping/weirdo green screen effects.
  • April 4, 2009
    Like an after-school special directed by Dario Argento. Lunacy, I'm home!
  • March 19, 2009
    Fan-fuckin'-tastic, Refreshing & original to the point of creativity overdose, So much fun & it has a great fun mood that even its stupid moments work, Even overusing the music score which seems really inapropriate in some moments doesn't hurt & ends up adding to the fun, I need...( read more) to see more of this kind of stuff if there's any other

    One of the most bizarre films I've seen, and perhaps the only horror film that actually made me giddy watching it. It's surreal, funny, and even scary at times. honestly I can't think of words to really do it justice.
