◬ Patron-Only Episode: Life is Horror & Men Won't Save You

One of the weirdest movies you'll ever watch is also one of the deepest.
Hausu will shock and confuse you, but it rewards your willingness to embrace absurdity with a message that's deadly serious: life is horror.

It isn't serial killers on tricycles or ax murderers in cabins that truly threaten us—our endings are much more mundane. Car accidents, routine injuries, and other people's untimely incompetence are the monsters you're most likely to be harmed by.

And as you wait for that hero to save you and civilization, Hausu reminds you that in the story of our modern lives, men won't save you anymore.

In this episode from the Silver Eye Society, a simple house in post-war Japan contains the question of whether the naivety of youth or the bitterness of age is the more dangerous monster in our modern world.
