Sight and Sound - ...It feels of a piece with its director's output....Miike has added a great deal of more bizarre material...
Additional Information
Best known for his dark splatterfests (AUDITION, ICHI THE KILLER), director Takeshi Miike takes a detour from his usual style with HAPPINESS OF THE KATAKURIS. After losing his job at a department store, patriarch Masao (Kenji Sawada) has opened a country inn at which the whole family can work. The trouble is, whenever someone checks in, they seem to die before checking out! The inn spells a different adventure for each member of the family, and Miike somehow finds the ability to work in some surreal clay animation along with several elaborate karaoke-style musical numbers.

    Love, Music, Horror, Volcanos. Cinema was never meant to be like this!

    This is a strange and hypnotic movie by the Director Takashi Miike, which you will either love or hate… Personally I loved it! The Happiness of the Katakuris is a surreal horror-comedy with an emphasis on the farcical tradition of film making, and includes some strange (but relevant) claymation sequences - Denis Potter style musical and dance numbers, which verge (in parts) on karaoke-style sing-along scenes. The tagline for the UK release was: “The hills are alive with the sound of screaming” which reflects how the movie was preserved by the UK as a kind of cross between The Sound of Music and Psycho (although the Psycho parts are completely unintentionally carried out by the leading cast). An initiate man convinces his family to take advantage of news of a road soon to be built through ...

    crazy japanese zombie musical!

    a fantastically bizarre japanese flick, not quite a comedy, not really a horror and with plenty of songs but not really describable as a musical either, this film manages to encompass all these genres into one. describing it as being 'wacky' would be something of an understatement. a dysfunctional family tries to get it together by opening up a hotel, but as the guests dribble in one by one, they all seem to have rather a special fate in store for them. oh, and it's got a volcano eruption for a climax, and lots of plastcine animation special effects as well... highly recommended!

    Happiness Of The Katakuris (DVD 2003)

    I loved the strangeness about this film, it does what it says on the tin, its very over dramatic with singing and horror, not really gory but im sure it was made with dark comedy in mind, even though i cant speak the language i found myself singing along.lol i was dissapointed as this dvd from tartan dont include the full ending that was in its original import release, i guess you will have to buy it to find out. its a very enjoyable film, a must in any jap / s korean / asia film collection. ones to checkout visitor Q sky high vengence Trilogy versus three extremes 1 & 2 the List is endless Enjoy

    The Happiness of the Katakuris

    Bizarre Japanese comedy - a cross between The Sound of Music and Psycho - about a family who open a rural guest house where the guests keep dying. Claymation sequences add to the chaos. One for the curious.
