Inhalt: |
ln Tokyo, a mysterious radioactive liquid is dissolving peopIe into slimy, sentient, seemingly indestructibIe, bIobs of destruction! Part-Japanese gangster noir, part-gooey body meIting horror, The H-Man (Bijo to Ekitai-ningen Beauty and the Liquid PeopIe ) is one of the most unique sci-fi films of the 1950s.
A series of mysterious catastrophes sweep the globe, causing the worId s scientists to conclude that beings from another planet are attacking Earth, and the worId must unite to defend itself in a gigantic battle in outer space! With wonderful special effects sequences by Eiji Tsuburaya (GodziIIa, UItraman), and a rousing score by Akira Ifukube (GodziIIa), Battle in Outer Space is a gIorious sci-fi extravaganza.
The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present two classics of Japanese sci-fi cinema, both directed by the great Ishir Honda, for the first time ever on home video in the UK.
