⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Secluded in the woods, infamous artist Ichirou Mamiya’s mansion stands long-abandoned following his death. A television documentary crew manage to gain access to the creepy house and begin snooping around. Not only do they unearth Mamiya’s lost fresco, they uncover a horrific tragedy-born curse and there is going to be a hefty price to pay for their discovery. Foolishly knocking over a protective monument releases the ghost of Lady Mamiya. Driven insane by the accidental incineration of her only child, the specter sets her greedy sights on the widowed producer’s daughter. Possession, death, a terrifically executed angry spirit and a crispy toddler all have their part to play in Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s melancholic haunted house chiller. Never pushing the boundaries (outside of its climax) usually left far behind in late eighties horror, Sweet Home still sits comfortably as a refreshingly mature take on your standard haunted house fare. Including some wonderful special effects and a fleshed out back story, Sweet Home could easily be taken as modern horror classic.
