Like any good horror film, the violence and bloodshed escalates with every set piece, each more elaborate (and entertaining) than the last; lighthearted cannibalism, slightly disturbing sexual innuendo, and some demonically possessed shrubbery to inspire The Evil Dead, mixed with Obayashi’s freaky fantasia, and you have a potent brew for pure macabre.

As of late, horror-comedy films have been reduced to the a series of the likes of I know what you did last Summer or I still know what you did last Summer, both of which are equally ridiculous (in a bad way) and sad at the same time for me.
However having just watched Hausu, I find myself both amused and amazed. Here is a film that not only never takes itself seriously, but goes far beyond that adding very few creepy moments to a whole 90 minutes full of pure madness.
Silly, irreverent, odd, ridiculous, with just the perfect amount of creepiness and all of it done with such a unique style that you can almost touch it. A funny ride and all the better for it.
