It is a story about – a remake as a matter of fact – about a family that is down on their luck and has decided to try running an inn, in the assumption that when the highway will be build next to, it will become a goldmine unfortunately the highway remains absent and so do the guests. When finally the first guest moves in, he suddenly dies and so do all the subsequent guys and they decide to just bury them in their yard, acting upon the assumption that a homicide investigation will surely ruin any chances of success that they have left.
Miike has spruced up the story by adding hilarious musical numbers, clay animation and all kinds of madness. In comes one of the if not the weirdest musical that you will ever see. The songs are hilarious, the overacting is glorious. When it is good, it is downright brilliant. Unfortunately it doesn’t manage to carry on the same high level through as in the beginning but it is still a wonderful, hilarious, truly weird feel good movie in a style that only Miike is capable of.
