Gammera the Invincible (1965)
Mar 13, 2006Japanese Monster Movie
This was made as a copy of the Godzilla films by rival studio Daiei. This proved sufficiently successful that it too spawned a long-running series of sequels and monster bashes
Noriaki Yuasa
Attack of the Monsters (1969)
Apr 2, 2006Japanese Monster Movie
The fifth of the Gamera films, Japanese monster movies that are made for children. This abandons the relative realism of the earlier films for a colourful silliness with frequently lunatic results
Gamera vs Jiger (1970)
Nov 25, 2013Japanese Monster Movie
The fifth of the 1960s Gamera films. This comes with inane plotting, sub-par effects and silly monster fight scenes, even a plot stolen from Fantastic Voyage about a submarine journey into the monster's body
Gamera vs. Zigra (1971)
Feb 26, 2007Japanese Monster Movie
This was the seventh of the 1960s Gamera films and one of the worst of the series. By now, the film is pitched entirely to juvenile audiences, while the effects are pitiful
Gamera: Super Monster (1980)
Nov 10, 2015Japanese Monster Movie
Possibly the worst Kaiju film ever made – produced by a bankrupt studio in order to recoup losses and cheaply slung together by rehashing footage from the other Gamera films
