#Zillathon2025 Gaiden: Varan (1958)
This listless, dull-witted production was intended for TV, and it shows. The effects aren't up to par, our favourite actors are barely in it, and the plot is a mind-numbing connect-the-dots slog. The only one bringing their A-game is composer Akira Ifukube!

The Watcher in the Woods (1981)
Thirty years ago, a teenage girl vanishes during an initiation ceremony. Now, someone or something is haunting the woods.
Disney film panned by the critics when it came out. I still got the chills, though, even if it's not the best film ever.

Also found the book too USA centric, the US having its own brand of weird misogyny & hang-ups

Toho blend corny 50s sci-fi charm with their signature tokusatsu craft. The result is an action-packed spectacle, but the story (and monster) leave something to be desired. It's a bit silly, but not an unenjoyable watch if you're in the mood for it.
