Quick Hit

Return of Daimajin throws horror on screen with real nerve, but the finish is shaky. The visual discipline keeps it sharp.

Full Take

You can feel the movie reaching for a hit from frame one. 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 BAD.
