Starting July 16, Kadokawa Cinema Yurakucho is hosting the Yokai/Tokusatsu Film Festival, which, as you can probably tell, focuses on Daiei's catalog of special effects films, mostly from the Showa era. The lineup is incredible, featuring the Showa Gamera, Daimajin, Yokai, and a bevy of ghost films from the golden age of Japanese cinema.
Today, I saw the 4K restoration of 100 Monsters (1968), the first of Daiei's late-'60s Yokai trilogy. It's a fun film, and it look flawless in 4K. Suffice it to say, I'll be returning to the theater to catch more titles.
I even picked up a couple of souvenirs from the lobby. I just hope I can find room for all this stuff!
