If you loved Invasion of Astro-Monster, try The War of the Gargantuas

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Ishirō Honda, and they both carry the 3am cult mood tag, and they sit in Action / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Invasion of Astro-Monster, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

3am cult
