HOUSE (1977)

Full tilt gonzo and crazier than a shithouse rat are just the first two thoughts that come to mind when thinking about this absurdly entertaining flick from Japan. I find it amazing that this movie was made back in 1977 and it's just now being discovered by cult movie fans. The audience I saw this with didn't seem to completely get it, which isn't surprising. Out of place happy 70's music, painted backgrounds, strange amateurish f/x that even more strangely all seem to work in the setting of this bizarre world that seems equal parts kiddie t.v. show, part outlandish comic book and part off the wall disturbing ghost story. Highlights include a guy getting turned into a pile of bananas, a decapitated head that bites asses, and a girl eaten by a piano. Truly a one of a kind surreal trip through an Asian wonderland of psychedelia with blood. I would recommend this one for adventurous cinema thrill seekers only.
