Here are links to the film and the making of documentary, which are both in Japanese (the film has English subtitles, the making of does not). SWEET HOME: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y6qgypmDlqTaprw.html MAKING OF SWEET HOME: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nIKJlbqlfLGYe7g.html
the history of inspiration behind these games and how far back it goes is always so fascinating, one funky weird project is enough to snowball into a whole genre

Also this might have just prompted me to finally watch the Sweet Home movie and man that was an awesome movie, tragic it's not been preserved very well
It might be just coincidence, but the premise of Sweet Home actually very similar too with recent popular indie horror game Darkest Dungeon. I only realized this about a couple years back.
It would be a dream come true if either Kiyoshi Kurosawa or Lynch could direct a Silent Hill film. Lynch goes without saying. But the atmosphere of Retribution made me consider this.

Retribution was a great film, i'm not sure I ever drew the similarity to Slilent Hill 2 before though, crazy!!!
the one thing that many horror games are missing and that resi did well is player empowerment...the monsters design is not what makes it scary its whether you can kill it easily or not and the long terms effect of resource managment making you seriouslt consider running away as viable option to survive .. this is why having a film director may have jelped because he knew you have to make the player worry about the avatar '' in game character '' surviving is the best way to simulate a '' horor movie '' not with cheap jumpscares to try to scare the player himself... also the majrity of the suspense and '' horror ' happens while exploring.... this is why there needs to be a balance between exploring and action... too much action and you lose the tension .. too much exploring and the player gets bored
Loved this video. Sweet Home has a special place in my heart. Also, I was bopping in my chair to the BGM the entire time. Thanks for a wonderful piece of work. :)
Unexpectedly short video but good! It is worth noting that the way the old man melts after saving the woman from Mamiya ( _I forgot her name_ ) is the same as how the Ghost in House on the Haunted Hill ( _by Dark Castle, the modern remake of it_ ) kills people. Just an amusing connection I noted.
The history behind Survival Horror is fascinating
I love your videos for so many reasons, but I love that feeling when you're watching some random essay or reading an article and at some point your jaw drops when you see a familiar name. I would never have thought that one of my favorite directors was involved in the creation of such iconic and beloved games. I hadn't even heard of this specific project in his filmography before! Thanks for your awesome videos
I enjoyed this one. It doesn't have the same eeriness and atmosphere as Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Cure or Pulse. Still, it's fun.
I like the video. Good work.
If it wasn't for Sweet Home and people the Film & Game Resident Evil/Biohazard, Silent Hill and Fatal Frame/Project Zero wouldn't exist so I would thank all the people behind the projects. Rest In Peace Dick Smith your Works of Art will never be forgotten!
The way that the video was well researched is awesome. I'm a huge fan of the inspirations behind the art. Thanks.
People may laugh and make fun of the intro to Resident Evil 1996 but that was peak horror because they used real people, and actual props. Way more scary than the stupid CGI bullshit.

You mean cgi effects.
Now Sweet Home is returning because of the success of Resident Evil
There's always talk about remaking famous games. What I would find more interesting is seeing massive influential, but largely forgotten games get remakes. Sweet Home and Marathon come to mind. Good to see Alone in the Dark getting a remake, though.
Great documentary and thank you for the hard work and effort
ah yes the wild weird... the strange hunk or RPG and horror... and an itch I keep trying to scratch.
The Japanese film House(1977) also has some influences too, but nothing like Sweet Home
It was nice of Shinji Mikami to give due credit to Fujiwara, as the real originator of Resident Evil.
Thank you for sending me the link for this video in your reply.
Finally Kineko Video restore the movie to a much more enjoyable, glourious 4K quality!
I'm not gonna lie, I'm REALLY curious about that Tax Evasion game now
I have a video request or maybe you can answer it here. In SH1 what is the use of Harry going into the clock tower to come out into the same world just nightmare? As you continue the game the world is still the same just day and nightmare. But I always wondered about the clocktower.
It honestly makes me happy that a horror joint production by Kurosawa and Dick Smith influenced survival horror, including it's game from Capcom. Like holy fuck, Capcom was gonna adapt a movie about tax evasion like The Toxic Woman and a fantasy epic from Lucasfilm such as Willow before choosing Sweet Home? Talk about insane! Anyways, we wouldn't have Resident Evil, Silent Hill, or Fatal Frame without the movie and game adaption. But there's something else to say from me, another piece of J-Horror(based on a book unlike Sweet Home) called Parasite Eve influenced Squaresoft/Square Enix's survival horror RPG franchise of the same name. I'd kill to see Sweet Home and the aforementioned Parasite Eve to be remade someday; also bless Dick Smith dearly! He will be cherished for his work on The Exorcist and other horror movies in addition to the movie that got us here with Rezzie, Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, among others. A man of talent and effort for sure!
Thank you, sweet home, for giving us resident evil and silent hill 🙏👏🫡
Not only Silent Hill is inspired by the game but Jacob's Ladder film is the main inspiration for the game franchise.

And Twin Peaks
this video was great to watch after the movie
The movie was actually less scary than the game. Also feel a bit Poltergeist effect, it has a happier ending than the game 7 endings
I almost thought you were talking about Sweet Home from Webtoons. That's okay. I am still enjoying this. 😊
They released the movie and the game at the same time. Both were being made at the same time!
Great video! I actually didn't hear of this game until now. Thank you!
I think I was late in watching your last two videos so didn't post a fresh comment. A much shorter piece but no less appreciated. I know I've said this all before but the research do can't be easy sometimes, it's great getting to know about the people behind the projects. You have a great read voice that has a great deal of dignity. Slightly off-topic, I listened to the English audiobook translation of Planet of the Apes a few months ago, it was a good narrator but again... the word I described it with for my review was 'Dignity.' There are a lot of positive qualities, but that one feels rare sometimes. Thanks for these documentaries.
I would like to see a review of cure and pulse movies. And other similar movies that you recommend. I love your videos. Thank you!
What a cool video, thanks for the hard work !
Finally someone actually talks about the movie
You really made my night a blast muse I needed that xo :) cheers and thankyou for sharing ❤
Could you do a video on the Teito Monogatari book series by Hiroshi Aramata?
Sweet home inspired Resident evil, resident evil inspired Silent hill, Silent hill inspired Fatal frame and so on and so on, we owe it all to Sweet home
I saw the film about five months ago lol I never thought of the resident evil thing. Not am I stupid.
what's the song you used for this video? It's so chill!
Off-topic but Phantasm would have made an amazing horror RPG in some alternate universe. Shame the extent of gaming at the time was "you are a dot, avoid other dots or shoot dots at dots - 7/10 BLAZAMMM Magazine"
🖤
exist sweet home manga?? or similar influence manga??
After realizing how much Shinji Mikami plagiarized from Alone in the Dark I'm not sure if Sweet Home had any influence in the development of Resident Evil. I would say Lucio Fulci's movies were much more influential than any Japanese film.

It was inspired by it for sure but also by another games like War of the dead (1987) and Dead of the brain (1992).
What's Muses second channel called??
