Featured review
This is a must see for monster movie fans
The Great Yokai War (1968) is the second film in the Japanese Yokai trilogy that I recently watched on Shudder. The storyline follows a Babylonian demon vampire that arrives on sacred lands of various ghouls and ghosts. As he targets humans for food and looks the rule the lands the only hope to stop him may be the local ghouls and ghosts.
This movie is directed by Yoshiyuki Kuroda (Mirror Man) and stars Yoshihiko Aoyama (Zatoichi in Desperation), Takashi Kanda (Kamen Rider), Ikuko Môri (The Tale of Zatoichi) and Tokio Oki (Shogun Assassin).
This is such a fun movie. The costumes, masks and makeup to create the monsters are very well done, especially for the era. The one that looked like a duck was my absolute favorite. The arrival of the Babylonian demon vampire with the fire staff was very dramatic. His first fight with the duck was hilarious and well done. Every fight sequence with the monsters is entertaining. I always laugh at the way they do the long necks in these pictures. The ending battle is a perfect monster fight conclusion.
Overall, this is a must see for monster movie fans from this era. I even liked this better than the first picture. I would score this an 8/10 and strongly recommend it.
