Ito and Inspector Tokugawa sat in the office of police commissioner Botan. They’d given him all their findings in a report detailing the podcasters picking up three women from Kabukicho and bringing them to a village. The report also detailed how they tracked down the captain of a yacht who dropped the party off on the shore of the island. When they questioned him, the captain said the Americans paid him twice the going rate to sit and wait for their return. He’d wait for an entire day before phoning them. They never answered and never returned.

The forward floodlight cast the early morning darkness backwards. Remnants of shadows clutched the trunks of the tall pines just off the roadway. The snowfall was light, but seemed heavier and faster than it really was as the Durango sped along the winding mountain highway. The strobing red and blues added an eerie tinge to the world. Inside the cab, a small ding sounded; Clay glanced at the instrument cluster and saw the temperature outside had just dropped to 25-degrees Fahrenheit.

Among these, the stories of the mapinguari stand out—you'll see why in a minute.

Michael BarkerPublished 4 months ago in HorrorReed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Godzilla Minus One' (2023)
Godzilla was always supposed to be scary. The original Godzilla (1954) terrified people but today, Godzilla is synonymous with actors wrestling in rubber monster suits. When my father told me the original Godzilla scared the shit out of him as a kid, it seemed silly to me until I really thought about it. Godzilla is a metaphor for the atomic bomb. A huge, unstoppable, radioactive, walking disaster, reflected the powerlessness the Japanese people felt from the advent of the atomic bomb. Imagine being a person confronted by something so massive and unstoppable. All you can do is run and it might not make any difference. Godzilla isn't even trying to kill people, per se, it's just the outcome of its very existence. By simply existing it causes destruction and chaos. I talked about this a little bit in my review of Cloverfield (2008). We'd lost sight of what giant monsters are supposed to be about with the entire Kaiju Genre.
