(1977) dir Nobuhiko Ohbayashi w/Kimiko Ikegami, Miki Jinbo [88 min]
Like an episode of Scooby Doo as directed by Dario Argento, Nobuhiko Obayahshi’s 1977 movie HOUSE is a psychedelic ghost tale and a hallucinatory head-trip. A schoolgirl travels with six classmates to her ailing aunt’s creaky country home, only to come face to face with evil spirits, bloodthirsty pianos, and a demonic housecat. Too absurd to be genuinely terrifying, yet too nightmarish to be merely comic, HOUSE seems like it was beamed to Earth from another planet.
