I was at Sam's and saw these movies bundled together with other awful monster movies (Not a knock. I happen to like horrible monster movies). They look like your basic rubber suit movie only set in fuedal Japan. The concept interests me. Are they worth buying?

I saw all these movies when I was 15 and had the flu. I couldn't sleep, and late at night would turn on the TV for background noise/something to distract me from how crappy I felt. These were on around 2 AM over three successive nights, and I sorta dozed in a twilight state through them. Never seen them on TV since, and up until a few years ago when I ran across a reference, I wondered if they might have been some weird, ferverish dream combined with a movie. I'd love to see them again, clear headed . . .

I love the original, it's got great effects and has one genuinely creepy moment, one of my favourites from Japan actually. Can't vouch for the sequels, never seen them.

Is this in one of those themed WM movie displays?

I went to Sam's hoping to find the movie bundle but no luck.

Different Sam's will carry different items. Call around, you might get lucky.

Like Brian said, the original rocked!
