Viewing Notes
Had the blu set sitting here and felt like revisiting even tho I saw this a couple years ago on the big screen at G-Fest. I really like how this is more of a horror story with the sci-fi and fantasy elements thrown in. Was tempted to revisit the next film but hold off for now.

I love the first two movies in this series! And the introduction to the third is great too, though overall not as enjoyable. My kids just watched this as well as part of their movie night with friends. They wanted to introduce their friends to cool Japanese monster movies since they’d never seen a Godzilla movie.
