Daimajin Strikes Again (1966)
Directed by Kimiyoshi Yasuda
Quick Hit
Daimajin Strikes Again has a clean hook and a few strong choices that stick, which keeps it comfortably above water. The visual discipline keeps it sharp.
Full Take
The setup has teeth; the payoff decides whether it bites. When the image is sharp and the menace is clean, it lands. Japanese horror of this period tends to sharpen image, rhythm, and ritual into something meaner than it first appears. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That’s enough to push it into SOLID.
