Overview

A fishing boat is attacked at sea by a gigantic, hairy monster.

The announcement leads reporter Hideo Akihara (Ken Osawa) to a forest shrine dedicated to the Keukegen Geharha, where he finds several worshipers and learns that an ancient seal containing the monster has been broken.

Viewing Notes

Short film to kick off slot 3 of my Halloween horror movie marathon!

I love this thing so much. They distill a dozen Godzilla movies into this and it’s amazing.
