Trivia
Further complicating the debate about which came first: Sweet Home's trailer is both an advertisement from the movie, and a sales pitch for the Famicom game. It includes scenes from both.

Crazy credits
After credits go over footage of the mansion it fully and spectacularly collapses in the post-credits scene.

Gory and stylish haunted house movie.

A television crew enter the sprawling Mamiya mansion to film the restoration of a fresco painted by the artist who lived there decades before.They discover not one but several frescoes including one that seems to depict the death of a young child in some kind of furnace.That night the temperamental presenter wanders out into the grounds of the house and digs up a coffin containing the charred remains of an infant.It soon becomes apparent that the child's mother,although dead herself has not left the house and is still angered by her loss."Sweet Home" is obviously inspired by Tobe Hooper's "Poltergeist" and Robert Wise's "The Haunting".The special effects made by Dick Smith are spectacular and there is a good amount of grue including dismemberments and melting faces.The action is fast-paced,the script is well-written and the characters are engaging.8 out of 10.A hidden gem.
