X FROM OUTER SPACE 1965 (CRITERION)

AAB Gamma come in please....AAB Gamma...come in.....AAB Gamma....

So begins one of the most ludicrous and fun Japanese monster movies I have ever seen. A spaceship brings a spore back from space and it grows into a giant monster called Guilala which is a combination of lizard and chicken.

The monster is pretty cool and the action never lets up once it begins. It's nice to see Criterion releasing this. This was Shochiku's first movie and it really made money and so the company made three more horror thrillers.

If you like off the wall Japanese horror and sci-fi you should check out the Eclipse 37 series from Criterion. Highly recommended!!
