episode 171: Kaneko's House of Horrors!
For our Halloween special, Byrd, Matt and Tom discuss four horror films by kaiju-fan favorite director, Shusuke Kaneko. On the chopping block today are the Toho vampire comedy My Soul Is Slashed (1991), the HP Lovecraft anthology Necronomicon (1993), Toho's sci-fi mutant film Pyrokinesis (2000), and the Kazuo Umezu manga adaptation God's Left Hand, The Devil's Right Hand (2006). Kaneko is one of the few kaiju directors to have a vast and successful career outside of the genre, so we took a look at his horror output. Can Kaneko be considered a master of horror? Listen and find out!
