About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like feudal-era folklore mixed with giant-monster action, especially if Rodan or Kwaidan appeal to you; Not for you if you want nonstop action and quick monster scenes.
Pros: eerie folklore mood; memorable stone giant; strong final payoff | Cons: slow first hour; uneven pacing; weak dubbing
