Seriously, WTF.

Ok, so I'm still attempting to watch the Criterion Collection in full and it's getting weird.  Last night, Elliott and I watched "Hausu" or, "House."

This is a completely bizarre, tripped-out, campy Japanese "horror" film from 1977.  As usual, it centers around a group of school girls who go to stay in a creepy old house for summer vacation.  There is a murderous persian cat, a disturbing aunt and obviously a killer lampshade.  Basically that is where they lost me, and to be honest I haven't bothered to finish it yet.  See for yourself...

The Criterion Collection isn't perfect, and I realize that.  I'm glad they've included some camp along with stuffy french films, and silents.  But really, I am speechless with this one.
