Goke, Body Snatcher From Hell (1968)
In 1945, the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Japan to end World War II. And Japanese filmmakers worked through that national trauma in their art ever since. It’s how we got “Godzilla.” And it’s how we got “Goke, Body Snatcher From Hell,” a bold, brightly colored vision of dreamlike retribution. Beyond its political commentaries, “Goke” features charming makeup effects and an absolute punisher of an ending.
