Greetings from 2016. I zipped over here after watching James’s review in the last ever Monster Madness marathon. It’s nice to see film clips here, though.
I f!rst saw Hausu two Halloweens ago and couldn’t believe what I found. As a fan of WTF cinema, it’s a real gem. It’s amazing to think it even predates Evil Dead.
All right, now I’m traveling n my time machine back to 2016 (which will be the past for anyone else reading this).

Dear Mike, I went to see this movie yesterday at a local indie cinema. Thank you for uncovering this gem. I am really glad I got to see it on the big screen. Although the audience were sometimes obnoxious and wanted to laugh at everything including the bloody A bomb because in the their minds every scene is japan-a-mazing! Seriously they was raucous but outrageously fake laughing everytume the cat appeared. I think they were worried that the people they were sitting with would think them stupid or not cool if they didn’t laugh at Japanese people.they wouldn’t sit through a Bollywood movie and laugh at everything the way they did with this movie. Anyway got a little of topic. GREAT FILM, GREAT RECOMMENDATION see it in the cinema if you can.

I had a chance to watch this a few years ago and you were definitely right about how weird it is. Lol, I was surprised you didn’t censor some of the nudity in the clips you chose. Especially of a particular girl’s severed body parts that was dancing around; i’m sure you didn’t censor it because she was so ”flat” that you didn’t think they were boobs 😛

James and Mike should do a combo episode of Sweet Home the movie AND the game. That would be awesome.

Actually, this movie is almost like “Sweet Home”. It was also made by Toho, but in 1989. What’s cool about “Sweet Home” is that a game based on the movie was made on the very same day. It involves people being trapped in a haunted house. If it wasn’t for this movie and game, Resident Evil/Biohazard may not have existed. Mike, I would love to see you review that movie. To my knowledge, it’s still on youtube.

Mike, if you liked this I can very much recommend Jigoku (1960) by Nobuo Nakagawa. I think it´s fare to say that it´s one of the first splatter films ever made.

I was thinking of a different House too, but not the show (I do love the show though). I used to live in an apt by myself. I didn’t have TV or Internet, and I lived right next to a library, so I’d get books all the time. One time I got a book called House. It was a horror/suspense novel. It was ok, kinda obscure. I’d heard it was made into a movie and I thought that was what this was.This though is…the hell man. It’s one of those movies I wouldn’t watch alone because it’s that special kind of weird and demented that only Japan can do. I mean..they raise the bar when it comes it weird, weird, WEIRD shit. Seriously, I have seen more LSD meets an asylum shit come from Japan than anywhere else. Ignoring the fact that this isn’t my kind of horror movie, the effects are very impressive for ’77. I mean, no CGI, that;s all practical, old school effects..
