Kaiju for Hipsters: 101 "Alternative" Giant Monster Movies

By Kevin Derendorf

"The Radioactive King of the Monsters!" "The Universe-Guarding Friend to Children!""The Mightiest Moth in All Creation!"You won't find them here.No, this is not a collection reviewing the same old giant monster movies that we've all seen covered countless times already. This book is for those who've already watched those, and are looking for a new fix, outside of those familiar franchise behemoths.Here you'll find information on the more esoteric kaiju cinema experience: quirky parodies (such as Big Man Japan and Ultraman Zearth), animated features (like Cyborg 009: War of the Monsters), Taiwanese fantasy flicks (e.g. King of Snake and its better-known Hong Kong edition, Thunder of Gigantic Serpent), low-budget indie pictures (including Monster Movie G and Orochi Strikes Again), TV miniseries (for example, Moonlight Mask: Mammoth Kong or Iron Armor Mikazuki), and more. There's a lot to enjoy, so come take a walk down the road less trampled.
