Roderick Posted July 17, 2014 I scare very easily, so I might skip anything too terrifying. Hausu is apparently pretty frightening? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted July 17, 2014 Not really. It's pretty freaky, but it's pretty laughable as a horror. I guess you might get unnerved by the weirdness if you're super-delicate, but I'm surprised anyone described it as frightening. As Tegan said, it's pretty camp. I saw it at a pub screening organised by Jon "Log" Blyth, on a double-bill with Punisher: Warzone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boris Stoke Posted July 17, 2014 At first glance I thought you guys were talking about this House from 1986. I would agree that it's a campy movie, but it is something I'd be very surprised to find in the Criterion collection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted July 17, 2014 At first glance I thought you guys were talking about this House from 1986. I would agree that it's a campy movie, but it is something I'd be very surprised to find in the Criterion collection. I got giddy with excitement for a moment when I thought that THAT House was in the Criterion Collection. I couldn't wait to see the justification for its inclusion.

tegan Posted July 17, 2014 I scare very easily, so I might skip anything too terrifying. Hausu is apparently pretty frightening? In terms of sheer terror, I would rank Hausu somewhere just below this: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
