Tensions rise as the group unity begins to fray. More serious than normal Toho fare, I like this and also remember how it scared the bejesus out of my younger Brother when We first saw it  ! *** |
Ah Matango! I own Matango (Attack of the Mushroom People). I'm assuming you've seen the original Japanese version? I originally saw the eng dub in b/w... must have been on our b/w TV. Creeped me out. It was interesting to eventually see in color, has a different feel to it.
A lot about Matango is strange, but the worst is this one scene where on the boat, after a long intense build, a mush-peep opens the door and then they cut away to something else, and we never see what happened. So weird.
The sound effects of the mush-peep are really creepy, quite the atmosphere. Horrific, in a Twighlight Zone type of way, but not exactly satisfying.
