Oshare is excited about spending summer vacation with her father, until she finds out that his beautiful, freakishly serene girlfriend Ryouko would be going as well. Oshare decides she will be going to her grandmother's house in the country instead. She brings with her her friends from school - Fanta (who likes to take pictures, and daydreams a lot), KunFuu (who has very good reflexes), Gari (who is a major nerd), Sweet (who likes to clean), Mac (who eats a lot), and Melody (a musician). However, the girls are unaware that Oshare's grandmother is actually dead and the house is actually haunted. When they arrive at the house, crazy events take place and the girls disappear one by one while slowly discovering the secret behind all the madness.
This title will be made available for rent again when a US version is released. Date TBA.

Hausu is a comedic horror movie filled with ridiculous gore and plenty of Japanese stereotypes. The martial arts expert girl? Her name is "Kung Fu". I believe they even named the "chubby" (she just isn't a rail) girl who loves to eat "Tasty".
About 5 minutes into the film, I noticed that all of the humor was intentional, and while at first I thought I was laughing AT the movie, I was actually laughing WITH the movie. I thought this would make the movie tedious and it would get boring. I was so, so wrong. It just got funnier and funnier and crazier. Everything from the creepy music scene done with nothing but random piano notes and cat meows (no joke) to the battle between Kung Fu and a common country chore leads me to believe this movie is completely worth your time.
In short, it's hilarious, go watch it. |
