sfpcc1 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Did anyone see *Hausu* which was on last Month as a Friday night cult movie. It was a strange but kind of enjoyable film. It sort of reminded me of live action Animae, Sailor Moon comes to life. The Movie could have been a kids film except there was nudity and surreal violence, (the girl losing her fingers in the piano.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SansFin Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 It is a movie I like very much. It is a movie I hesitate to recommend as it is very dependent on the viewer and on the mood of the viewer whether it is liked. I believe it is very much a children's movie in the context that it uses the horrors in which children believe and which remain in the back of our minds even when we are adults.

ValentineXavier Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Best psychedelic horror film ever made. I saw it on the IFC, before the IFC became a farce, I saw it in a theater, as part of a Japanese film series, and watched it again on TCM. It's like Sam Peckinpah and Terry Gilliam dropped acid and made a movie together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree! :^0 I found it strangely enjoyable, I'm glad I was able to record it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikisoo Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I recorded it for TikiKid, thinking she'd like it. A lot of the creative shots that dazzled me went unnoticed by her, like the sky, wind, back rounds of rooms. I thought all that added to the "nightmare-like" quality. TikiKid absolutely was disturbed by the dismembered fingers, head and gory type violence (whoda thought?) MrTiki was disturbed by the nudity-he said it was one shade away from "kiddie porn". I wasn't bothered by any of that...it was just a nighmareish fantasy to me & I liked it. Hey Soo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am convinced that this is one of those rare movies which no two people see equally. It is what the viewer brings to it that determines what they see and can take away from it. It is also so specialized in so many ways that I believe it is alone in its sub-sub-subgenre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
