Synopsis

How to describe Nobuhiko Obayashi’s indescribable 1977 movie House? 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.

Transports you back to those manic imaginative childhood days

Jim Baclagon wrote on 01/01/2011:

Remember as a kid you tell stories and pretended? How your mind would fly from one thing to the next in a mili-second? House gloriously captures that mindset dead on. A True ghost-fantasy movie that manages to summon the inner child within.

House tells a story about seven girls and the events that happen when they stay at a strange "haunted" house. At first, that would seem run of the mill... Boring usual crap But the exposition is so bizarre, so creative there is too much to Love about this movie. It's faulty editing style and manic use of layering, green screen, and animation effects manages to capture the feeling of just having fun.

This is a movie lovers movie. Highly Recommend it. A+
