House influenced Evil Dead?
Just watched this great little flick and much of it reminded me of Evil Dead. Has Sam Raimi ever mentioned House as an influence?
shareHausu's craziness, childlike style and overall oniric dreamlike atmosphere has never been equally matched, but I think that the movie that got closest to its style is Evil Dead II.
The haunted house seeting, blood erupting from the wall, sporadic plot elements, wicked sense of humor, haunted furniture, flying body parts, cheesy lines, interesting camera angles and more. Evil Dead II is however, darker, less colorful and less metaphorical.
Did Raimi ever mention Hausu as an influence? That's something I don't know, but it's possible.
This was a great post. You broke it down perfectly. I wish I was as articulate as you.
shareWell, thanks.
shareNo problem friend. Are there any other movies like House you can recommend? I've seen a lot of films but this one I hadn't came across until recently. Such an underrated gem of a film. Not like anything else I've seen. I've noticed that many horror comedy films I enjoy took a little bit from House.
shareGremlins 2: The New Batch is what I'd consider to be an underrated horror comedy.
As for movies like Hausu, your best bet are some other movies by the same director, Nobuhiko Obayashi. There's a few of them on YouTube.
