OK movie with an awesome title
19 October 2016
This strange, colourful Japanese sci-fi/horror film has something for everyone: terrorists, assassins, plane crashes, vampires, flying saucers, alien blobs, and a great downbeat ending. The movie would be best watched in the middle of the night when the general silliness (maybe) becomes creepy and unsettling. Film buffs (and who else would be watching this) will likely know that this was one of Tarantino's obscure favourites, necessitating a brief homage in one of his films (look it up or try to guess). Acting, dialogue and special effects are what you'd expect in a low budget '60s shocker but there is an imagination and an ooziness that you would not find in a contemporaneous genre film with equivalent budget made in the 'West'.
