Went into this one knowing only that it was a popular japanese horror movie from the 70s. Was pleasantly surprised to then enjoy a camp-filled B-movie with a seven dwarves style ensemble cast ('Gorgeous' is the pretty one, 'Prof' is the smart one, 'Kung Fu' does kung fu, 'Mac' is obsessed with food).

The house eats them all one by one in the name of an elegantly evil ghost/aunt in a wheelchair. Perfect film. There's also a cat named Blanche.
I love it, even with the repetition and exhaustion. Unexpected benefit: losing sense of time. Every task, from feeding to putting her to sleep, takes as long as it takes. I’m not trying to control time or “be productive” in the same way I did pre-baby.
