About this event
Screening as part of STAB! A work of dense visual and technical complexity, HOUSE is perhaps best remembered as a psychedelic, cinematic pop-up fairytale of the Grimm brothers variety, but Obayashi's darkly comic fable of seven schoolgirls is deceptive in its simplicity. While the girls' stay in a haunted house results in a series of sinister, stylized, and undeniably silly slashings, HOUSE subtly explores the wartime trauma their parents' generation endured. A midnight movie turned cult classic, House - with its hypercinematic unreality of candy-coloured skies, optically printed collages, and rapid fire editing - is undoubtedly best experienced on film. This screening is 18+ and the film will begin at the advertised time above. This film features rapid editing that may trigger photosensitive epilepsy Content Warnings: surreal, campy violence and psychedelic special effects. frequent cartoonish and surreal gore, body horror, flashing lights aand animal harm Runtime: 88 minutes Director: Nobuhiko Obayash Country: Japan Year: 1977 Film
