House
In the heart of a violet forest, an old house awaits young girls.
Directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi
Produced by Toho Eizo Bijutsu
A wildly experimental, campy haunted-house film that blends surreal horror with genuine sentiment, using absurdist visuals and playful terror to explore grief and connection.
Hoping to find a sense of connection to her late mother, Gorgeous takes a trip with her friends to visit her aunt's ancestral house in the countryside. The girls soon discover that there is more to the old house than meets the eye.
