Using the same plot as The Quiet Family, but adding songs, dance numbers, claymation, zombies, and a less somber tone, The Happiness of the Katakuris involves a family who buys a guest house near the mountains. The theory is that when a new road comes through it will bring lots of business as they are the only place to stay.Like in The Quiet Family, the first guest commits suicide, everyone who subsequently stays there dies, and the family buries the bodies in order to avoid scaring potential guests away.
The big difference in the two movies is this one has a conman who woos their daughter, musical numbers, brighter and more colorful scenes, and an emphasis on humor than dark comedy.
