The vitals:
7:00 ~ Doors
7:30 ~ HAUSU

With its unbelievable, childlike practical effects, Hausu still feels like one of the freshest, coolest films ever made—even decades later. Inspired partly by Jaws and his own memories of surviving the atomic bomb, director Nobuhiko Obayashi turned to his young daughter for help dreaming up scary scenarios. He believed children had the most inventive ideas, and together they imagined the film’s surreal kills, trippy visuals, and out-of-this-world horrors. The result is a fever dream of a movie that reveals something new every time you watch it. Gather six of your girlfriends and you’ll find yourself whispering, “I’m definitely a Gorgeous with a little bit of Melody and Kung Fu… you’re totally a Prof.” It’s the perfect girl’s night movie.
