This is so messed up and weird. For people who like movies such as A Clockwork Orange, Eraserhead and Suspiria. Flying laughing heads and killer matresses... but interesting and individual.
So... anyone want to buy that house? Its only 40,000 a month but the realtor will throw in a geisha bleeding from the anus, a flying decapitated head, and a persian cat that spits red flesh-eating acid. The lighting works fine, you just need to avoid the lightshade that dismembers humans and sends them through psychedelic trips that gave those kids Porygon seizures.
I think this film inspired Sam Raimi with his evil dead franchise... the resemblances are almost uncanny! Thank you Janus for creating such a wonderful and diverse library for film aficionados such as myself!
@ReversingCurse Me too! I was at the 4 PM showing and it was a great experience. The film is wonderfully weird and everyone in the audience was cracking up. It was one of the best times I've had in a while.
@ReversingCurse Did you see the preview for that animation called The Secret of Kells? That looks pretty good, too. Having a theater like this is one of the pluses to living in SF :)
@moviemonkeys The movie was a pleasant surprise. I just heard about it days earlier, & I've never seen any clips or trailers. I saw "Cyrus" at the AFI & planned to stay & watch "House" afterward.
@s4ujcd I think I heard about it a month ago on the blog "Bad Lit: The Journal of Underground Film." I decided on a whim to go and see it when I saw it in the listings the day of - for a while, I didn't go to movies that often, but the AFI Silver is a great theater with some fantastic programming...
I have a question, does anyone know if this film was ever released with other audio? I was wondering if Janus will release extra audio. I have no problem with subtitles but I wanted to share this film with my folks but they won't read subs. Other than that the film will be purchased by me.
Insane, imaginative like no other (all those overrated guys like Tim Burton and Co will NEVER reach that level of crazyness mixed with beauty), strange, funny, beautiful,.. A REAL cult movie.
@janitormovie It's on Criterion Collection now. And all Criterion Collection is half off at Barnes and Noble. I just bought this and came here to see he trailer.
For British and Australian viewers, note that the music for this awesome film was done by the band GODIEGO, who also composed the classic theme song for Monkey!
We're referring to the trailer itself, which, to the best of our knowledge, had not previously been subtitled. The wording of the description has now been changed. Thanks for your comment!
There is another version with optically burned in subtitles that was translated by native Japanese and is sometimes awkwardly worded. For example the sub-title "House is calling to you come back home and marry me" was instead "House entices you - get back to the countryside and get married" Thanks for the improved translation. I can hardly wait to see this.
Yes, this was confirmed by the director. He shot in Academy as late as 1998, with SADA. (Notice how at the end of the trailer, the frame switches to scope for the "coming soon" card - the actual 35mm print of the trailer has a 1.37 image squeezed anamorphically in the middle of a scope frame.)
Thanks for the prompt response, Janus! I only just noticed the coming-soon card. Now we wait for you to conquer Bollywood, Kollywood, Kaliwood, Lollywood, and Nollywood! Peace.
@MuzikJunkyAES I think that Scope films are not as common in Japan. I gather that such films tended to be event pictures and marketed accordingly, such was the cachet of the format. In any case, most directors (like Kitano Takeshi) still shoot in smaller formats for budgetary reasons.
