A movie ridiculous enough for one of its lead characters to stop in the middle of anything and say, “This is ridiculous.”
A cult classic has to earn that title and Hausu does this by being genuinely fun, absurd and representative of truly misguided, misplaced effort. Hausu definitely has a look, and while I’d be hard-pressed to actually explain everything I saw (why did Mr. Togo become a giant heap of bananas?) I can say I had a wonderful time watching it happen.
