I've never seen a movie that tried to do so much as this one. Sometimes hilarious, at other times profound. Great movie.

best miike movie

Rather disappointing. It was sold to me as a 'Zombie Musical', which was very misleading! The poorest Miike film I've seen to date. Worth a look, though the songs are pretty poor.

çok çok güldürdü.

Very very original but after a time it starts to get boring.

Hilariously bizarre. A disney-like musical with a body count.

I honestly don't even know what to say. You'll just have to see it for yourself. Takashi Miike is a genius.

There really isn't another movie like this. If there is, please show it to me so I can watch it and love it.

You'll probably catch this on ABC Family channel some night.

A surprisingly sweet and heartfelt film infused with black comedy, claymation sequences and hilarious musical sequences. Excessive and extreme but still has enough pathos for its characters for some relatively sweet moments. Catchy tunes. Seems to be shot on video though which took me out of the movie for a little while - and I wish it had a bigger budget as the claymation seemed to be a crutch for when a scene would have been too costly otherwise.

Weird as fuck. Miike is the da.

This is one weird as hell movie. It's crazy. It's Japanese. It's a musical, and it's full of dead bodies. Sometimes, singing and dancing dead bodies. And there's claymation involved sometimes. Uh, look, just watch it.

Remake of the eminent Kim Ji-woon's debut film The Quiet Family, with added musical numbers, claymation, and a good dose of the Miike insanity. Plus Kiyoshiro fucking Imawano. Needless to say, it's fantastic, although some of the musical numbers could be more inspired.

Certainly an experience. The sense of humor and songs are all great. It might be a mess, but it sure is unique.

Gloriously fun meta-musical bookended with some truly bizarre stop-motion animation. Far more humanistic than most of director Miike's work.

One of those movies that I just didnt 'get'.

One of the best musicals for decades (as vague as any genre label could be) and it's from Takashi Miike. Disregarding some lame claymation ideas - this is just awesome.

Part cheeseball, part nightmare, all heart. It's kind of random and disjointed and if it were shorter it would be much better. Features the greatest discovery of a body ever put on film.

More extreme weirdness and sillyness from Miike. This time in the form of a musical about a family-run guest house where the guests have a nasty habit of dying. The tongue is planted way too firmly in cheek, but it's pretty funny, and definitely original. Out of the Miike films I've seen, this is the one I'm most likely to watch again, or recommend to a friend with a taste for weird movies.

Obviously, this isn't going to be for everyone, but I think it has spunk.

happiest movie I've ever seen I love it more than anything

It's not as cohesive or as atmospheric as Hausu, another surrealistic horror-comedy, but THOTK is a delightfully absurd and entertaining bit of mischief from the ever-innovative Miike, who seems to excel at capturing domestic life shoved to the uttermost edge of sanity.

Horribly unbalanced, there are a few hilarious moments that are seperated by a lot of boring monotony. The first musical number comes out of nowhere and is amazing, and the claymation is great, but other than that only see this if you are a Miike fan to begin with (I am not).
