Was this one of those films that got banned because the studio thought that the monsters looked too much like victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings that survived but were horribly disfigured via the radiation?
Don’t know about that but reminds The Island of Dr. Moreau, as usual the Japanese fuse many influences taking it to grotesque, the film was originally banned.
I’ve been SCARED of this movie ever since I first HEARD about it over 30 Years Ago.
THEN, I finally SAW IT 2 Years Ago–
and EVERYTHING that you see in the darkest Anime (especially some of the best PLOT-Driven “Hentai”) was literally Grandfathered-In by this film.
It was ahead of it’s time then, and still stands today.
Still creepy as hell, though–and THAT’S a Good Thing.
Once more, Thanks Rarelust (especially for this upgrade).
Thank you for the upgrade!!!
