![]() ![]() Sure enough, there’s a plesiosaur on the lake, and a pteranodon hatches from one of the eggs. Meanwhile, the local lake has long had legends about monsters living in it. Due to the enhanced clarity of the digital format, you can often see the strings manipulating the puppets, but again, that’s OK with me.īasically, as with Rodan, the plot features long-dormant dinosaur eggs that are uncovered and begin to hatch. These are all goofy as hell, but I’ll still take them over 99% of CGI monsters. Obviously mileage varies, though.Īlso, high on my personal charm list are monsters represented by actual props, and we get both puppets and life-sized prosthetics here. The middle part does drag, and the ‘epic’ finale, featuring, of course, a volcanic eruption, goes on entirely too long. (Including, oddly enough, an extended monster attack scene, which is one of most languorous such I can recall.) I liked the ’70s funk and bad pop ballad score, the typically awful clothes, the anti-hero character, etc. However, I found it pretty amusing, despite some definite lull periods. ![]() This non-Toho entry has a pretty bad rep, with most of the complaints arising from a lack of monster action. Even better, I’d never seen this one, so it was cool to cross off another giant monster movie. This is another very nifty release from Media Blasters, who have been targeting a lot of the more obscure (i.e., non-Godzilla) giant monster and sci-fi stuff from Japan.
