Description

From Takashi Miike, the prolific director of such shocking hits including Audition and Ichi the Killer comes “The Sound of Music meets Dawn of the Dead”! The Katakuri family run a peaceful country inn at the foot of Mount Fuji. A little more peaceful than anticipated, their only visitors arrive in a series of suicides, murders, and inexplicable deaths. In order not to ruin their reputation, the Katakuris decide to bury the bodies, but will the coverups come back to haunt them... The Happiness of the Katakuris combines scenes of grotesque stop motion animation, surreal musical numbers, and zombies to make one the finest horror-comedies ever made.

  • Miike's retelling of The Quiet Family

    By Clem Jordan
    Takashi Miike takes the premise from the Korean classic,'The Quiet Family', & turns it on its head with turns like karaoke musical numbers, claymation scenes, slapstick comedy & cheerily dark tones. Very strange, enjoyable & fun. (Especially if you have seen The Quiet Family)

    I was excited to check out this movie. Big fan of the directors previous films. I was let down. if youre interested I would give it a rent before you buy it. Some of the musical numbers were inspired but could not carry this film for me.
