Godzilla kehrt zurück (1955)

Godzilla kehrt zurück: Directed by Motoyoshi Oda, Ishirô Honda. With Hiroshi Koizumi, Setsuko Wakayama, Minoru Chiaki, Takashi Shimura. Fishing scout-pilots are startled to discover a new monster named Anguirus alongside a second Godzilla. The monsters make their way towards Osaka as Japan can only brace for tragedy and relive the horror of Godzilla once more.

“Another of Godzillau0026#39;s species is discovered on an island, along with a spiky creature called Angilusaurus (or Angilus for short). Before long the two monsters are wrecking havoc.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThough this film was rushed out, it has the advantages of being made in the age when Godzilla films were serious-themed. The scenes in which city populations are told to turn their lights off to avoid Godzillau0026#39;s attention at night are atmospheric and recall World War 2, when city lights were turned off to avoid the attention of enemy bombers. The music is haunting and the scenery, especially on the island, is suitably eerie. The film does tail away towards the end, but itu0026#39;s still one of the stronger sequels.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs with the original, and most other Godzilla films, the original non-dubbed version with subtitles is recommended.”
