With a severed head jumping around biting people in the butt, it's hard to imagine that Sam Raimi did not get some kind of inspiration from this absurd film for his own absurdities in The Evil Dead.
Hausu is an art project in weirdness disguised as a film. The story line is very basic (girls go to a house, strange things happen) but the way it is presented is such a unique experience that it is hard to discount the creative, hard working and purposeful energy put into it. With each passing scene I did not know what to expect next, I was not bored and I was interested in seeing where this was going to end up. That alone make the film worth a watch, at least once, for any horror fan. I'd go as far as saying that maybe everyone should experience the film, maybe watch it instead of taking LSD, you might get the same experience.
The film seems to break every conventional rule of filmmaking and it makes it work in its favour. How? I still don't know. The film shouldn't work, but it does. I also owe the library $3 for not returning it on time...damn.
