Nobuhiko Obayashi's Hausu really does feel like a film that existed in another universe where reality simply doesn't apply.
Cartoonish and absurdly funny sequences elevate and accentuate the films over the top nature. It's a visually creative and eccentric artsy horror film that most of the time has the opposite effect of being scary; but you can't help admire the effort for Obayashi's first feature being so bizarrely unique.
Strange and truely deranged, Hausu is an odd experimental horror piece with a mix of light hearted comedic surrealism, cementing itself as a cult classic among cinephiles today.
