The Crazy Family Blu-ray 1984 Gakuryu Ishii Japanese Third Window Films

Another cult classic from the director of Electric Dragon 80000v and Crazy Thunder Road!

Introducing Third Window Films' Limited Edition Blu-ray release for Gakuryu Ishii's 1984 black comedy film, The Crazy Family. The Kobayashi family finally are able to move out of their tiny, cramped Tokyo apartment to the suburban house of their dreams. But things are not as perfect as they seem: the house is infested by termites and the family starts going crazy: Son Masaki is studying so obsessively for his exams that he’s losing his mind; daughter Erika is oblivious of all but her forthcoming record company audition, grandfather Yasukuni starts getting World War II flashbacks and father Katsuhiko is so worried about his family’s “sickness” that he thinks can only be cured by group suicide. As the Kobayashis’ house begins to crumble, so does the sanity of its inhabitants. Katsuhiko takes it upon himself to keep them from the asylum… at any cost.
