KYUKETSUKI GOKEMIDORO (1968 aka
GOKE: BODY SNATCHER FROM HELL) "Kyuketsuki Gokemidoro..."
(Thank goodness for IMDB!!)
Airplane crash, glowing spaceships, blob aliens invading your
face... suicide bomber, fully armed assassin/hijacker, political intrigue, excrutiatingly badly translated subtitles, cute blonde American (
KATHY HORAN best remembered from
THE GREEN SLIME) with an absurd anti-war speech and an obsession with
face wounds (how her Viet Nam vet husband had died, all filled in by dialogue between strangers to this woman who should not know any of that) vampires, stupid choices, cornball subplots... even a slobbering sex scene... this cheezee film has it
all!! GOKE was on IFC last night, and after a long week, and despite it's many thrilling elements, I had to hit the hay before it was over! Dang, I'm usually good 'til 3AM when SCHLOCK like
GOKE is on. Anybody catch this last night, or have you seen it? Any other truly outstanding Japanese SCHLOCK to recommend?
Though this still in black & white, the film is glorious garish color. Oh... did I mention obscenely bad acting?
