House (1977)

It’s been a weird week in this final full week of HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST. It’s been some pretty crazed haunts and Michael J. Fox enterprising haunts and now we’re back to more crazed haunts in another Japanese feature that somehow, arguably, isn’t the weirdest shit we’re watching this week. Commercial director Nobukiko Obayashi was tapped by Toho Films to make whatever their own version of JAWS should be. After a little industry hot potato and some wild ass ideas from the mind of a little girl, the 1977 film “HOUSE’ was born. A cult classic by western standards but a hit in Japan in its day. Seven girls go to their Aunt’s house who is actually an enraged spirit who is so angry about World War II that her, and the house, will eat these girls and consume their essence with one remaining to carry on for the tortured spirit in physical form. An delightfully insane onslaught of imagination. It’s on MAX and if you ain’t got that shit just watch it here: https://archive.org/details/house_202106 Subscribe to us on YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuJf3lkRI-BLUTsLI_ehOsg Contact us here: [email protected] Hear us on podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6o6PSNJFGXJeENgqtPY4h7 Our OG podcast “Documenteers”: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/documenteers-the-documentary-podcast/id1321652249 Soundcloud feed: https://soundcloud.com/documenteers Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/culturewrought
