A schoolgirl and six of her classmates travel to her aunt’s country home, which turns out to be haunted.
This really is an amazing movie I genuinely love this movie it’s all over the place and I just love it for that.
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…
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.
Holy Mountain is brilliant! I saw it in the theatre last year for its 50th anniversary rerelease. 😵💫🍿
it’s the first animal well type movie
