A group of schoolgirls go on a trip to a country house and find themselves besieged by a supernatural entity.
I was looking forward to watching Hausu.
I had seen the trailer and various clips over the years.
It is a fascinating movie.
It looks incredible - the visuals are genuinely inspired: That bit where one of the girls is holding her friend’s living head is jaw-dropping.
Maybe I should not have gone to a late evening screening. I am happy to try it again, but I found this movie to be a snooze.
The characters are hilariously essentialist - each character is boiled down to one basic characteristic.
The set-up is simple, but once the kids are trapped in the house, the set pieces quickly start to feel repetitive.
