Plot:	After a family opens a lodge in a remote mountain town, they find that all their guests keep dying--and they take on the responsibility of hiding all the bodies, not wanting any bad publicity. However, their determination might just make things work...
Overview:	Miike Takashi's "The Happiness of the Katakuris" is a quirky, black comedy, combining musical, comedy and horror genres to produce a uniquely Japanese twist to a cross between "Shallow Grave" and "The Sound of Music". The plot centres around a fairly typical dysfunctional family and their shared dream of opening a guest house in the country. Despite all their best efforts, the guest house has the unfortunate habit of attracting guests who all turn up dead in the morning. The Katakuris, just regular folks, do their utmost to make a success by burying the guests out the back the grove behind the house, with hilarious results. This is one film that has created its own genre and will have you cheering for the Katakuris as they fight the odds and the bodies.
