Hausu (Trailer)

SHEET FILM

A group of high school students (each characterized by a name that reflects its own peculiarities: Melody, Sweet, Kung Fu, etc..) Goes for the summer holidays in the country house (the "Hausu" of the title) of an aunt them. Too bad the dear aunt is actually a kind of demon-vampire, intent on eating these "spice girls" before its time.

" Hausu" (also known as "House"), is a genuine pop psychedelic delirium direct hand lysergic by Nobuhiko Obayashi, 1977. A film so preposterous and vulgar, it looks like a Hong Kong production!

It is, In fact, a comedy horror (a little 'musicals), curious and extremely stupid. Obayashi is fun to include in the film, in a completely crazy and unpredictable, any type of makeup and special effects / visual, so as to affect every single frame with slow motion , stop motion , animated inserts, painted backdrops, etc..

Unfortunately, beyond the pleasant and unique visual experience, the film, although interesting, is nothing but a pure and simple playful experimentation for its own sake, simply marked by an impressive number (and excessive) of virtuosity.

Special mention to the soundtrack (one of the most terrible things I've ever heard) and the cat sputasangue fioccodineve. Among the weird scenes

segnalo: a girl eaten by a piano and a man transformed into a pile of bananas .
