CINEOS Premiere
Hausu
Seven schoolgirls visit a country house that turns out to be hungry — a fever-dream horror where a piano eats a girl and grief has grown teeth.
It comes at you too fast to accumulate weight — the tonal derangement exhausts rather than burdens, keeping your body agitated with pitch-shifted sound and cuts that ignore every rule of continuity. But the images are genuinely invasive: a piano that devours a girl, a head that bites, a body dissolving into petals lodge in memory even as the emotional logic melts. Under the candy-coloured mayhem the world is quietly hostile, and each girl is swallowed alone.

FAQ
Is it actually scary?
Not in the way you expect — it's closer to a nightmare a child might have, gleeful and grotesque at once. The fear comes from never knowing what the film will do next, not from dread.
Why does it look so strange?
Every effect is handmade — painted skies, superimpositions, animation — and the artifice is the point. It's a horror film built like a pop song, and that mismatch is exactly what makes it unforgettable.
