Experimentation is essential to filmmaking, but not all experiments are successful. Steffen Haars and Flip van der Kuil's Dutch action-horror comedy Krazy House is a catastrophic flop. What should have been a 20-minute Adult Swim special is dragged into a 90-minute absurdist bore that attempts to roast corny 90s sitcoms, religious zealotry, and sunshiny dispositions.
Central conflicts arise from Bernie's inability to empower and support his family. Faint attempts at humor stem from Bernie's out-of-his-league wife stomaching his"invention" of scrubbing brushes on his shoes or Adam's mockery of God's will as Bernie responds with bible verses — until the Russians show up. The hapless and uncoordinated Bernie destroys his family's kitchen, and almost immediately, a trio of grunty Eastern European workers rings the doorbell.
Haars and Kuil interrupt early scenes with subliminal shots of a blood-covered Bernie, teasing the rampage to come later. It's the Adult Swim of it all, trying to mess with the audience like Casper Kelly’s stealth yule log horror film — or like Quentin Dupieux's commentative take on midnight movies, Rubber. The problem is that Haars and Kuil don't have a compelling story to balance their in-your-face blasphemy or the Russians' lock-and-loaded home invasion brutality.
Krazy House is"krazy" for all the wrong reasons. Haars and Kuil want to be these Cecil B. Demented type industry anarchists, but their execution is as impactful as Tom Six's latter The Human Centipede sequels. There's nothing revolutionary about the film’s revulsions or exceptional about its obscenities. Even at the lord's runtime of 90 minutes, Krazy House depletes its core gimmick in a matter of seconds.
