Gamera vs. Zigra
“Deep-Sea Monster Zigra!”
Premium Crap. CrapScore 74, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
An alien sea creature arrives with plans for Earth's oceans, leaving Gamera and several determined children to interfere. The science is loose even by the series' standards, and the dialogue can become wonderfully peculiar. A later Showa entry for viewers who enjoy the franchise's most childlike inventions.
