[3] A small film crew visits the old, abandoned mansion of famous artist Ichirō Mamiya, who left several precious frescos inside his house.

[1] Following its theatrical run, producer Juzo Itami (who also appears in the movie) took the decision to re-shoot and re-edit parts of the film for the home video and TV releases.

In a 2001 review, he said: "Despite its unsurprising plotting, Sweet Home is action-packed, thrill-packed and effects-packed, resulting in a more than entertaining haunted house ride".

Sweet Home takes almost the opposite approach to the genre, resulting in a colorful, action-packed, special effects-laden rollercoaster horror movie".
