House

Oh, yeah

... called House.

House.

Um, it's a foreign film, and it was made in what? '70-

'77 or-

You know, this isn't Obayashi's house.

Right.

Like like which is a movie that, you know, like for us, I would say like movies like House and The Boxer's Omen.

Once you watch those movies, like in a way you're broken.

That's like diving into the deep end.

Otherwise, it's kind of like fun and quaint.

It's a fun, quaint riff on Poltergeist and The Haunting that it, you know, in the first 45 minutes could use a little bit more excitement for me, but as otherwise, like totally fun and recommendable.

Yeah, I think, you know, as opposed to something like Obayashi's House, where it's like, oh, you know, that's a fairly small cast of characters, too.

It's an anime film.

It is the first time that a Japanese studio had a film directed by a Westerner, and so that kind of culture clash, n- non-pejoratively, uh, gives this film a very unique flavor.

It's pretty interesting.

I don't know that it is, uh, uh, beloved by folks who are, are coming at it as fans of the manga that it's adapting.

Right

... what's amazing is, is, uh, they each had aspects to them that despite knowing a lot about the films and having had them recommended to me, they each had something to reveal to me.

A lot of times, uh, the original House, the Japanese film.

Now, I do love that Netflix, uh, stop-motion film, and I would love to get that film on physical media.

[upbeat music] All right.

Up next we have our listener's pick, Sam Raimi's return to horror after his Spider-Man trilogy in 2009 with Drag Me To Hell, directed and co-written by Sam Raimi with Ivan Raimi, his br- older brother, and produced by his production company, Ghost House Pictures, with a budget of $30 million.

Similar to The Ring, the film opens with the first instance of this curse.

In 1969, a young boy was cursed after stealing a silver necklace from a Romani woman.

But it is really, really out there and quite wild.

I'm not forgetting that at all.

[laughs] The film that we're referencing is Hausu, which was released to audiences in 1977.

And Bella, I believe this was the first time you had seen this film, correct?

It's Dylan.

I'm here with Vanity Rex, who's wearing a Housu shirt because she knows how much I love that movie.

We are here to talk about what we've got coming up at Can Can this month, and it's October, so we've got some good'uns.

As usual, since mine's up first, I'll go first.

here I

am I am starting to get a little nervous but I think I am going to go with The TV series, The Haunting of Hill House.

I had that on my list.

I'm fine with that here.

about a show I want to re-watch.

Is that better

than Haunting at Hill House?

Yeah.

I saw the face of the murderer.

Next up is House from 1977, or House-u as some like to call it.

A schoolgirl and six of her classmates travel to her aunt's country home, which turns out to be haunted.

This film is batshit and so is its score.

We try to pick the most summery things we can find.

We'll watch this, and we'll watch Hausu, because Hausu is very summery.

We'll watch Summer School, and we'll watch Cheerleader Camp.

Cheerleader Camp, is that stuck on that old Anchor Bay DVD?
