Loving the 'nightmare commotions,' turbulent, 1968 vibe of 'Kyuketsuki Gokemidoro'
"No matter what you've seen, you've never seen anything like Hajime Sato's 'Goke, Body Snatcher From Hell,' a movie so unfettered, so unpredictable, so overloaded with chaotic emotions, nightmare commotions, pulsating psychedelic lights, mercurial space slime, and newsreel images of blood-splattered combat forces that, were there any justice in the world, it would have long since been recognized as the greatest film of all time."
I watched this delightfully unhinged movie again today. It's becoming a favorite.
A hijacked airliner crashes in a remote area of Japan and the hijacker becomes possessed by aliens who turn him into a blood-sucking vampire.
Meanwhile, the crash survivors' in-fighting (they've run out of water, among other inconveniences) makes them more vulnerable to being killed by the vampire.
Don't worry, there's no "feel-good" happy ending with this film. It just gets darker and stranger as it goes along.
The film's creation date -- 1968 -- marked a year of assassinations, war and youth rebellions against established norms, and this film reflects that turbulent era. The viewer and the characters are equally at a loss about what will occur next.
That's one of the qualities that makes me love this movie so much.

The cap construction was honestly a bit too large however the lace was super soft. I highly recommend the lace wigs uk it's beautiful and almost very natural. My natural lace wigs uk is pretty silky and to the middle of my back so braids don't last too long however the Combs in my hair did not slip or budge which is a plus as well. Completely in awe. I was hesitant at first about purchasing a wig from net, so i spent about 3 weeks browsing reviews. I contacted the seller and had a response the first day. I received the human hair wigs uk yesterday and am in love. Ive been an avid wig wearer for over 3 years and this is by first my favorite. Not to mention my brazilian hair. I bleached the knots using a 30 developer. I recommend a 20 or limit the processing time with the 30.
