User Review

The main reason I’m so fond of this giant turtle is that, so far, she’s been lucky—the studio bosses from the Hollywood Hills haven’t gotten their hands on her yet, and that’s a good thing! And my most cherished and beloved film in this series is "Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris," directed by Shusuke Kaneko. I love it because humans play a significant role in it—specifically, a Japanese schoolgirl who bonds with the alien monster Iris; a touch of psychology slips into their symbiosis, and I know exactly what I’m talking about.

Meanwhile, there are some issues with the pacing of the story; it sometimes moves slowly, but it’s told quite smoothly. The audience is introduced to Gamera through news reports and footage of destruction—and this is something you can’t take away from it: the atmosphere of ruin, as portrayed by the Japanese, comes across as very authentic, vivid, and terrifying, even despite the small budget. and while it’s clear these are composite shots, the final scene hits hard, and the low-budget visuals actually work in its favor. Add to that a certain suspense, the epic scale amplified by Ko Otani’s music, and a certain soul poured into recreating the battle between two worlds.

The film is deservedly called the best in Japan in the kaiju genre. Here, however, few people are familiar with it, and let’s add that this isn’t an American-style blockbuster—it’s a purely Japanese film dedicated to the creature they love and cherish, made with respect for it.

Its quality is confirmed by awards, and it has been named one of the best films in the kaiju genre—naturally, watch it if you’d like.
