Where we shelve this film
Psychedelic & surreal
Dream logic, wild colours and images that ignore reality.
Gothic & haunted houses
Uncanny mansions, ghosts and dark romance behind creaking doors.
Our genre tags are curated classifications. These descriptions explain the shelf, not the film’s plot.
From the editors
A schoolgirl and six friends visit her aunt’s country house and encounter surreal horrors. Nobuhiko Obayashi’s Hausu mixes animation and collage; even a piano becomes threatening. Our pick for a haunted-house evening whose images keep bending expectations.
Our guide’s house opinion
THIS HOUSE HAS A SCREW LOOSE
A haunted house as a loose-wired collage. Our favourite reason to distrust wallpaper.
An affectionate house opinion, not an audience score or an age rating.
