Hausu is the rare cult title that earns the word: a 1977 haunted-house picture in which a schoolgirl and six friends visit her ancestral home and are slowly devoured by it — a fiendish cat, a possessed mirror, a bleeding grandfather clock. BAM is running Nobuhiko Obayashi’s film on 35mm at 8 pm inside Fantastical Felines, a week of movies about cats with literal supernatural power. It is 88 minutes and it never lets up.
What to expect
An 8:00 pm 35mm screening running 88 minutes in BAM Rose Cinemas at the Peter Jay Sharp Building, in Japanese with English subtitles. It sits inside Fantastical Felines, so the same Saturday offers The Cat from Outer Space at 2:00, Cat People at 4:15 and The Cat at 6:00 if you want to make a day of the series. Expect a full house — this is the title people book the series for.
