Gamera and Guiron battle it out in another Japanese creature feature
30 June 2014
Two young boys discover an alien spaceship, which they board and are then whisked away to a planet on the other side of the Sun where they encounter two female aliens who ultimately plan to eat their brains. Fortunately, Gamera, the children-loving, fire-breathing, flying giant turtle monster comes to the rescue.

Attack of the Monsters is another in the mad series of Japanese monster movies from yesteryear. This one is a starring vehicle of the aforementioned Gamera. In this one he gets to battle a couple of other monsters, one of which is Guiron, a giant knife-headed evil creature. He is the servant of the two aliens and he makes for a fairly distinctive baddie. The fights between the monsters make up a fair bit of the run-time and they are basically more of the same you will have seen before if you've seen any other Japanese monster flicks. There is some recycled footage too from other entries in the Gamera series. It all gets a bit wearisome after a while, made considerably worse by the presence of the two rather annoying children at the centre of the story. Fun up to a point but mainly hard going.
