About this item

How to describe Nobuhiko Obayashi’s indescribable 1977 movie HOUSE (Hausu)? As a psychedelic ghost tale? A stream of consciousness bedtime story? An episode of Scooby Doo as directed by Mario Bava? Any of the above will do for this hallucinatory head trip about a schoolgirl who travels with six classmates to her ailing aunt’s creaky country home and comes face to face with evil spirits, a demonic house cat, a bloodthirsty piano, and other ghoulish visions, all realized by Obayashi via a series of mattes, animation, and collage effects. Equal parts absurd and nightmarish, HOUSE might have been beamed to Earth from some other planet. Never before available on home video in the United States, it’s one of the most exciting cult discoveries in years. Choose your platform/edition, then jump in—story, missions, and extras depend on the version. Rated 4.6 out of 5. Customers find this movie loads of fun and consider it a cult classic masterpiece worth buying.

Review snippets: Normally, I would NEVER even consider watching the bonus supplements or featurettes prior to watching the film itself, for the most obvious reasons - spoilers, hindsight recollections and justifications, and often the BS that those involved in production conjure up / *Great odd-ball classic of 60s 70s experimental filmmaking.* It is both very Japanese and also universal in that time period of experimental cinema, I'd compare it (very loosely) to Jodorowsky's stuff (El Topo etc), the Rocky Horror Picture Show, etc.

Rating: 5

Normally, I would NEVER even consider watching the bonus supplements or featurettes prior to watching the film itself, for the most obvious reasons - spoilers, hindsight recollections and justifications, and often the BS that those involved in production conjure up several decades after the film was made to make themselves appear more clever and grandiose than was probably the case. By the same token, if I don't enjoy a film, I usually can't be convinced by these features that I'm missing the boat - you either like something or don't, with few exceptions, IMHO. That said, sometimes, as infrequent as it is, when I'm still scratching my head when a flick is over, the bonuses will illuminate and enlighten to the point where I now have received the clarification necessary for me to fully comprehend and enjoy aspects of a film obscured to me for one reason or another. Such is the case with 'House', almost more so than any foreign flick I've ever seen. When a film is hyped up to be 'all that', my expectations lead me to be only one thing - let down. When you read the Amazon product details as well as the dvd cover description, the promise sounds far too brilliant to be realized, so I decided to do a little research. After reading several website reviews, I felt I was getting farther from the truth instead of closer, so I decided to watch the bonus features before I sat through the actual movie. This is one of the few times when doing so proved to be absolutely essential to my overall viewing experience and ultimate enjoyment of this minor yet remarkable movie. There aren't many spoilers, at least none that would detract from your gratification, and to hear the way the film evolved directly from the mouth of director Nobuhiko Obayashi added the necessary seasonings to appreciate the film for what it is, what it isn't and what the hype tells us it should be. "An episode of 'Scooby-Doo' as directed by Mario Bava"? Puh-leese... I've seen every Bava flick there is and there's no such similarity - maybe Seijun Suzuki is who they meant. (By way of Tim Burton, but now I'm adding to the hype...). By the time I actually sat through the film itself, I had a better understanding of what this film actually was, and could judge it on its own merits, budgetary and special effect restraints, constraints and sheer brilliance in execution and concept alone. As a result, I was able to thoroughly enjoy this anomaly in film from the 70's without reserve and would strongly suggest to anyone remotely interested in this film to do likewise - you won't be sorry you did. (PS- The bonus 1966 experimental film is another added treat of sorts, and viewing it in advance will also increase your appreciation of the main feature). A solid four star film I'm adding one star to for its sheer originality, and to make up for some of its unwarranted detractors here on Amazon. You want different? You got it! Read more

*Great odd-ball classic of 60s 70s experimental filmmaking.* It is both very Japanese and also universal in that time period of experimental cinema, I'd compare it (very loosely) to Jodorowsky's stuff (El Topo etc), the Rocky Horror Picture Show, etc. Somehow it has been marketed as horror, maybe the "story" is somehow in the horror vein, but I can't imagine anyone older than 4 or 5 being at all scared by it. It is more of an odd somehow cutesy ghost story. It is charmingly childish and ineffably loveable. So many things- manner of filming, editing, story plot turns, are quirky and interesting. They almost all work, and it really comes across as an artistic vision, unfiltered by compromise, multiple creators, or producers/ studio demands. *You will like this if you like:* film of that period, experimental or avant-garde film, Japanese ghost stories, off-beat stories and storytelling, children's art. *This reproduction* is good, though a little dark, it is of that era. And in the case of this dvd, the extras are ALL worth watching, well produced, commentary and interviews, a real treasure for cinema aficionados/ japanophiles. Of especial interest were the memories of the director's daughter, who was like 5 (?) and present during a lot of production. Apparently it was partly made for her and also partly made by her. He would go to his daughter with certain ideas and ask her what she thought or what would happen next. This explains a lot of the charmingly odd plot twists. As Picasso said, every child is an artist. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars One of those movies that most will either love or hate

Rating: 5

September 21, 2016

Campy, surreal, silly, abstract, these words and their synonyms are what best describes this movie. You have probably never seen a movie like this, if you have it is probably not as well done. It is a low budget film, but the cheap special effects(compared to the present) are well done and contribute to the overall feeling of the movie. The characters have nicknames that have to do with their interests, and personalities to go with those interests. Not really a horror movie or gorefest, it turns those tropes on their heads. It is quite enjoyable and quite different. If you don't like the so-called 'art' films or anything different you won't like this film. If you are looking for something so different that it is indescribable this is a movie for you. I really loved this movie, and I was not prepared for the unusualness of it. This is one of those movies that most will either love or hate, but either way it is worth a watch. I would like to add that this movie is in a genre all by itself, and the the soundtrack has some great music. Read more

A group of friends go on a summer vacation to one girl's aunt's house, only to find themselves the targets of a haunting. And somehow that description still doesn't do this film justice. The visuals are insane and surreal, like someone made a feature film with the bizarre visuals and logic of the craziest Japanese commercials you've ever seen. Words can't quite describe it, especially since I don't want to spoil anything. Just be aware that this is a cult classic for a reason, and enjoy the craziest trip you'll ever experience from just watching a movie. Read more
