GOKE THE BODY SNATCHERS FROM HELL 1968 (DVD-R)

When most people in the west think of Japanese horror or sci-fi they think of Godzilla and such, but this is an entirely different kind of movie.
It seems earth is being invavded from a planet called Gokemeidoro and they want the earth for their own. An airline crashes and the survivors do nothing but fight against themselves making it much easier for the aliens to invade heir bodies and kill the other passengers.
This is a little more thought provoking than most Japanese horror films, and it has some very disturbing images in it as well with people's heads splitting open so the alien invaders can enter the body.
This should be available on DVD, but it isn't. Mine is from TCM which aired it in 2006 in letterbox format with English subtitles. Recommended!!
