akainagiJust finished watching Happiness of the Katakuris, also known as Katakurike no Kofuku.
That was the best crackfilm I've ever seen. That was the best film I've ever seen, period. It's like The Sound of Music, but with zombies. And, as we all know, everything's better with zombies.
The premise is pretty simple. The Katakuri family starts a quaint little guest house in the middle of the countryside. Mama, Papa, delinquent son, slightly trampy daughter, slightly trampy daughter's little daughter, the loveable grandpa, and let's not forget Pochi. Unfortunately for the Katakuri's, all their guests end up dying. And to protect the family business, what can the Katakuri's do but bury the stiffs in the backyard and sing nutty songs about their plight?
The songs are great, the dance numbers are better, and the whole film is filled with little bits of stop-motion animation that are absolutely fantastic. It's a morbid crackfest with the only legitimate feel-good ending I've seen in a movie in years.
Do yourself a favor and pick this up. Or pirate the bittorrent. You will fall in love with this film. How can you not love a film that was plugged as "The Von-Trapp family wanders into Dawn of the Dead??"
