hausu

For ages and ages I'd heard of this crazy-ass, insane japanese 'horror' film by Nobuhiko Obayashi. I'd heard that it's the most insane, caustic film ever made. Though I can't completly agree with that diagnosis, I can concure that it is, indeed, insane.


I'm not sure if this is the 'best' way to describe it, but maybe the best way 'I' can describe it....(clears throat)....
It's as though Andy Warhol made a comic-horror themed Manga into a film while he was influenced by the beach boys.....maybe??
It is one of the truly hard to define films.
Like a bizarre, surreal film.



synopsis?
why not.

A group of high school girls go off for the summer to an aunt's house. As soon as they arrive, strange things begin happening, and the girls begin to go missing. Once the the girls begin to notice that they can't find the lost ones, they think, well, maybe somethings wrong.

That encompasses the first sixty minutes, after that the film is...well, insane. Think the craziest parts of 'Evil Dead 2" but japanese, yet with the esoteric.....uhm....i'm not sure what.

Oh yeah!!
Did I mention the piano playing severed fingers?????



uhm.

think on it...
pray on it...

that's what they say right?
