New on Blu-ray: THE HAPPINESS OF THE KATAKURIS (2001) - Japanese Musical Horror Comedy

Happiness Of The Katakuris New On Bluray

BUY FROM AMAZON
Product Description: Japanese language, English subtitles, high definition, Region A disc. It wasn’t all that long ago that the Katakuris moved out to the sticks with dreams of running a beautiful bed and breakfast along the highway. Unfortunately for them, that highway never came. With their morale at rock bottom, the eccentric family prays to add just one name to the guestbook! But when customers finally start rolling in, they won’t stop keeling over! And instead of going to the cops, the Katakuris find themselves doing a strange song and dance to keep anyone from finding out! Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2004 Gérardmer Film Festival, Takashi Miike’s (Audition, Ichi the Killer) viscerally surreal horror musical returns on Blu-ray—jam packed with a whole chorus of special features! Presented in the original Japanese language with English subtitles!
