The Crazy Family (Aka Gyakufunsha kazoku) Blu-Ray
The Kobayashi family can finally move from their small, cramped apartment in Tokyo to their dream house in the suburbs. But things are not as perfect as they seem: the house is attacked by termites and the family starts to go crazy: Son Masaki studies so obsessively for his exams that he is going mad, daughter Erika forgets everything except her upcoming audition at the record company, grandfather Yasukuni starts having flashbacks from World War II, and father Katsuhiko is so worried about his family's "illness" that he believes it can only be cured by group suicide. When Kobayashi's house begins to crumble, so do the residents' minds. Katsuhiko takes it upon himself to keep them away from the mental hospital... at any cost.
