A naked lady being eaten by piano… Hasu!
Posted by Ms Harker | Filed under Asian Horror, Horror Films
Greetings and Salutations.
What is it about Asian horror that just keeps me coming back for more? Is it the creepy blue tinged children under sinks and hiding in cupboards? Yes. Is it the evil mother in laws that curse a household resulting in generations of said blue tinged children? Yes. Or could it be the unlikely pearls of wisdom that come from the soundtracks that form a inspirational accompaniment to my open windows of joy awaiting the blossoms of freedom and love to bestow greatness on the garden? Yes.
My love for Asian horror having now been established… I have to get my hands on a copy of Nobuhiko Obayahshi’s 1977 horror film Hasu or House. It has everything I love in horror, black hair tentacles weaving their way out of a hot bath up the ivory back of an unsuspecting damsel. Piano’s that play themselves… hang on… no, there are ghosts fingers thumping out that tune! Floating heads come to take their vengeance and naked ladies being eaten by said piano. Thanks to FearNet for bringing this jewel of the orient to my attention, it has filled my weekend with a sense of love sent from your warm lips through a bell of happiness! Enjoy the trailer below.

January 14th, 2010 at 8:51 pmCriterion have a new print which is touring festivals (http://www.criterion.com/current/posts/1348) with the (implied) suggestion it may find it’s way to DVD soonish. There’re a couple of rips of it floating around the internet too, though I’ve no idea what kind of quality. Looks awesome!
(And to aid seraching, it’s Hausu)
