註釋Celebrate the world of movie monsters and beasts with Kaiju Unleashed, a complete reference guide to strange creatures in film and how they came to be.

Kaiju (Japanese for “strange creature”) is a film genre that emerged in Japan in the early ’50s. The movies center on giant monsters battling humans, machines, or other beasts. This film category has stomped its way back into mainstream culture.

This comprehensive guide features:

A thorough discussion of monster movies (Gamera; Rodan; Destroy All Monsters)
Insight into how kaiju has impacted international films (Ant Man; 50-Foot Woman; Jurassic Park)
Stunning movie posters and film stills, plus fan-made tributes to some of the kaiju classics (Godzilla; King Kong; Mothra; Pacific Rim)
And more!

If you are a kaiju fan or are interested in kaiju’s cultural influence worldwide, this volume provides the perfect general introduction to the genre, reference to its film highlights, and celebration of its practitioners, trends, and stories.
