Sûito Homu (1989, JAP) C-100m. **½ D: Kiyoshi Kurosawa. Starring Juzo Itami, Nobuko Miyamoto, Nokko, Shingo Yamashiro, Tsutomu Yamazaki. Uneven mix of horror and comedy about a television crew, who are granted access to a mysterious mansion that is said to be haunted. They want to make a documentary about the works of an artist who died there 30 years ago, but soon find themselves in eerie situations. The characters are caricatures, but film wants to sell you serious horror with potent splatter effects, so this isn't convincing and will work only for hardcore fans, others beware. A major hit in Japan, also adapted as a video game. Good cinematography. Written by the director. English title: SWEET HOME.
