Audience Member Ok so you know what you are getting yourself into when you watch an old dubbed film like this but WOW - UM I would just skip to the end and watch the special effects there and not in the rest of the movie. I mean - the "monster" looked like shiny prell shampoo oozing out of the guys face. Scary? Um I have been more scared at a McDonald's Drive Thru... OOF! For a scary title you sure get a lot of nothing. SKIP IT and save your time for better things like washing your gerbil.

Would have been much better if it was only 30 to 70 min. long. The psychedelic sequences are a nice touch and the atmosphere projected alongside an entertaining story is derailed by bad acting and worse plot holes. The other odd sequences of the stark realities of war (graphic real photos of gore and death saturated completely in red) is a mixed bag...oddly captivating yet obviously hammering home the overall theme to the story line. Plays well in the background while you're busy doing something else.

Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member And they call him "vagina face" lol. Best of the Shochiku films (on Criterion.) A turtle-necked terrorist becomes possessed by an alien blob that turns him into a vampire. So funny. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I won't begrudge this movie any lack of creativity, especially with its blobs and surreal establishing shots that still creep out decades later. But the start-n-stop script doesn't do anyone any favors. This is one of the shorter movies from the Shochiku studio, but feels like the longest.
