Viewing Notes

Another film that got decent rotation on late night creature feature television. I dig the island stuff w/the scientists but the giant insects are a little lame. The mantis Kamacuras are dopey. Kumonga is also weak. Of course the story is about Minilla coming of age so to speak so it’s a light feature. But still better than Godzilla’s Revenge.
