Even if you haven’t seen "Hausu" (or "House"), chances are you’ve seen the promotional image of a smiling, stylized cat, against an orange backdrop. This image has become the unofficial logo for foreign art house oddness, and with good reason.
This 1977 film takes a turn for the surreal when a young schoolgirl and her young friends get lost, enter a witch’s house, and get eaten. And as bonkers as the movie’s stylization is, it’s also deeply unsettling. This is one of the most thrillingly strange movies of all time. Like many movies on this list, it’s kind of got to be seen to be believed.
