Starring Yumi Shirakawa, Kenji Sahara, Akihiko Hirata, Koreya Senda, Makoto Sato
Directed by Ishiro Honda(actor & director credits courtesy IMDB.com)
When a drug smuggler disappears, leaving his clothes behind in the street, the police assume he's gone into hiding, but a scientist fears a radioactive menace is responsible.
Gojira director Ishiro Honda delivers here a pretty good sci-fi picture, and one that's a bit of a departure from Honda's giant monster films. Although the special effects aren't particularly innovative or memorable, they're well-executed enough- I just thought it was too bad the filmmakers didn't choose to give their monsters some sort of character or personality. Nonetheless, it's a skillfully assembled picture, and an interesting one.
