A schoolgirl and six of her classmates travel to her aunt’s country home, which turns out to be haunted.
Nobuhiko Obayashi has made many wonderful(ly weird) movies, but this is definitely his magnum opus. Hausu is a pure visual effects delight. A few more stills…
it’s the first animal well type movie
was dropping acid once & figured i’d been putting off watching this one for all too long. one of the best decisions i’ve ever made & it’s not even particularly close.
This really is an amazing movie I genuinely love this movie it’s all over the place and I just love it for that.
I love this movie, though honestly the first half is a long, boring set of sunshiney schoolgirl fluff. I guess it contrasts with all the weirdness that happens when they finally arrive at the house, but it does take quite a while to get to the good part.
If you like this, try the Jodorowski film Holy Mountain for even more of a trip.
