This recently-excavated cult classic is the weekend movie at Landmark Sunshine Cinemas here in New York. YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS CRAZY GODDAMN MOVIE. It’s great. Here’s why: Hausu (aka House, from 1977) is without a doubt, one of the weirdest fucking movies I’ve ever seen, and goddamn it but that really must be saying something.

I just spent a lot of space on a movie which references The Necronomicon, a Lovecraft invention. Horror luminaries such as John Carpenter, Joe Lansdale, Stephen King, Guillermo Del Toro, and Mike Mignola (all of whom I happen to admire tremendously) all name [...]

I can’t decide whether this is clever or obnoxious. If there’s a question, it’s probably not the former.
