A film directed by Nobuhiko Ôbayashi

Synopsis

How   to   describe   Nobuhiko   Obayashi's indescribable 1977 movie House? As  a  psychedelic  ghost  tale?  A  stream-of-consciousness bedtime  story?  An  episode  of  Scooby-Doo  as  directed  by  Mario Bava? Any of the above will do for this hallucinatory head trip about  a schoolgirl  who  travels with six classmates to her ailing aunt's creaky country home and  comes  face-to-face  with  evil  spirits,  a  demonic house   cat,   a   bloodthirsty   piano,   and  other ghoulish visions.
