Haunted house films certainly are their own breed of horror movie. They have to rely on atmosphere and mood above anything else. However, 1977's Hausu(House) is its own breed of haunted house film. It is one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen and has some of the strangest techniques and sequences ever. It's one heck of a ride.
To get away from her father and his girlfriend, Oshare goes with a group of friends to spend the summer at her aunt's house.One of the girls goes missing and everything continues to go downhill from there. Doors shut themselves, phone chords attempt to strangle people and a piano enjoys eating human limbs. The ending is both weird and awesome.
If you like films like Poltergeist or Supiria, this movie is for you. Just be prepared to scratch your head a lot and ask yourself "what the hell am I watching." It's definitely enjoyable and imaginative. Give it a try.
