It's #Kaijuktober! And to celebrate it I'm watching a #kaiju #movie every day.

Today's movie was: The Secret of the Telegian / 電送人間 (1960)

Apparently a successor to The H-Man (1958), it also features a shape-shifting human. Directed by Jun Fukuda, the #film is a serious work from start to finish, beautifully shot too, nothing to do with the characteristic goofiness of his later films. Looking at you, Son of Godzilla (1967).

I give it 3½/5 Kaiju

Attached: 1 image It's #Kaijuktober! And to celebrate it I'm watching a #kaiju #movie every day. Today's movie was: Varan the Unbelievable (1962) The Americanization of Varan (1958), and unlike Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956) — which uses body doubles to convince you the new main character was always there — and Gigantis, the Fire Monster (1959) — which mostly changes dialog — this one uses only around 10 minutes of the original #film. I give it 1½/5 Kaiju 🦖⭕❌❌❌ #movies #cinema #cinemastodon #KFF #怪獣

@maxalmonte14 you finished on a good one!
@COMPU73E I sailed the seas for the American version of Mothra vs Godzilla, which they called Godzilla vs The Thing. Couldn't find it anywhere — which honestly surprised me since I watched stuff that should be way more obscure during this month — so had to "settle" for this one. It surprised me how good it was. I lost myself in every shot to the point I forgot this was supposed to be a "kinda silly" old Japanese sci-fi movie. It's a nice watch, can totally recommend it.
