" Date: 8/31/2020 Viewed: Blu-Ray (Arrow Video) Re-Watch Note: After watching Ichi the Killer, I decided to revisit another movie from Takashi Miike and I have the Arrow Blu-Ray of this movie sitting on my shelf for over a year now collecting dust. I haven't seen this movie in the last 13 years and I wanted to see it if it still holds up. After watching this movie again, I still really enjoy it. The Happiness of the Katakuris is a fun surreal horror musical comedy in my opinion. The most famou"

"First viewing - Oct. 31st So on Halloween I narrowed my options on Prime to Argento's Inferno, Ganja & Hess, and this film which bears a horror tag. Thankfully I also knew from its reputation that there'd be some claymation and it was a musical, otherwise I might have given up on it early. The whole film is an oddball wonder, and I can't help but respect Miike for making the damn thing. I appreciated the film and especially its messages, and I'm certainly glad I watched it. However, it wasn't h"
