As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

House (1977) (Japanese)

Post by GORDON »

Another selection from my film snob kid.

He tells me the story of this is that the director saw Jaws, and wanted to make a Japanese version of it. So what we got is this surrealistic (?) horror movie. 7 girls go to a haunted house and encounter supernatural difficulties. Just like in Jaws.

Except for the pull-back-the-camera-while-zooming-in trick, I saw no connection.

But, this has a style I've never seen again until possibly Edgar Wright 40 years later, so. Supposedly this is a classic, according to the kid.
