House

October 31, 2024 @ 6:45 pm

CCA’s Cult Film Series presents an ENCORE screening on Halloween of Nobuhiko Obayashi’s classic experimental comedy horror film, HOUSE!

How to describe Obayashi’s indescribable 1977 movie House (Hausu)? 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 mattes, animation, and collage effects. Equally absurd and nightmarish, House might have been beamed to Earth from some other planet. Never before available on home video in the United States until recently, it’s one of the most exciting cult discoveries in years.
