There is something every filmmaker must learn before making a Kaiju film, and is: MAKE YOUR OWN DAMN MONSTER FOOTAGE!!!!! Seriously, why the hell did they use footage from Ultraman?!?!?!?! And no, don't dare you saying "They had no budget to do it", because I saw people using Lizards, LIZARDS, and make that work, look at One Million Years BC, they made their own creature footage with real animals, and that worked, the same can be said to Journey to the Centre of the Earth(1959) and The Lost World from the 60s, there is no excuse to don't make your own monster footage, this movie is crap, but there could still be a hope for this movie, somebody could take this movie and make a new cut without Ultraman Footage, that would make it much better.

Also known as Bicheongoesu (The Undead Beast) and The Flying Monster, this has Dr. Kim (Kim Ki-Ju) and Kang Ok-hee (Nam Hye-Gyeong) trying to prove that dinosaurs still exist and then, when they attack, trying to stop them.

Directed by Kim Jeong-Yong and written by Lee Mun-ung, this film keeps the budget low by taking many of its monsters from Tsuburaya Productions TV series. Pestar comes from Ultraman, Seagorath, Seamons, Bemstar and Terochilu are from Return of Ultraman, Verokron and Fireman are from Ultraman Ace and there are also kaiju from the Taiwanese film The Founding of Ming Dynasty.

It's kind of strange because it barely works because this movie doesn't seem to all work together but you get that when you mix new footage with 1970s Japanese TV effects. That said, I had plenty of fun watching it. I mean, even the worst giant monster movie is still pretty great.

Forget that this film haphazardly transitions through the motions of a Kaiju film at a feverish clip, mostly without explanation. Forget the fact that the professor has a Willem Dafoe Lighthouse descent into madness (even though he straight up has pictures of the monsters that appear later in the film in his study). Forget the bizarre family dynamics of sisters becoming mothers. Somehow forget the TERRIFYING two-person costume for the water bat monster. Forget the time when you escape your crumbling home with what you thought was your baby, only to find you foolishly packed a pillow instead.

Forget all these moments. Or, actually, embrace them. They come together in a magnificent pastiche reminiscent of the 60s Showa Kaiju films with 80s fashion and dread. The monsters look awful but frankly don't you want them to? I will never be mad for watching this movie. Don't forget: everyone wins in the War of the God Monsters.
