Revenge of Iris. Gamera is back, the Gyaos have returned in greater numbers than before and once again they threaten all life in Japan. But this time they’re not alone. Iris, an old mythological monster – a legend, is awoken as a young girl discovers an egg in an ancient cave. The egg hatches and brings the baby Iris to life. Soon, however, it has grown to a gigantic size and threatens the world as...
Living Dark: The Story of Ted the Caver is a long title. It’s too long to repeat really. Therefore, I will refer to it simply as Living Dark from now on. Apparently, Ted the Carver is some kind of urban legend that I never heard about. When I read about it briefly I find that it originates from the early 2000s and is a text about someone exploring a cave. The further into it he...
Attack of the Legion is the second Gamera film, starting with The Guardian of the Universe. This time the threat comes from outer space, a gigantic insect-like alien which in turn is built up by smaller units. The government tries to fight it off but stands helpless (of course).

No creature has such a perfect DNA strain!...

If you thought it was farfetched with the Sharknado movies, think again. Monsternado takes it all one step further. I don’t even know where to begin. The story itself is not much worse than all of the other silly and stupid monster movies that have been coming out in recent years. Monsternado is most definitely inspired by the Sharknado movies but I guess everyone seeing the title figured that much out already. Basically, it’s about...
