Notorious Z-grade monster movie is actually quite entertaining if you treat it as an unintentional comedy. Plot just shows what horrors can result when research into particle physics gets it on with Japanese monster movies, as there is a mind-boggling attempt to give proceedings a veneer of scientific plausibility by saying the giant bird-monster has an anti-matter shield, explaining why they don't just shoot the damn thing down.

The fact that some of the scenes between Morrow and Corday could conceivably be quite effective in a more conventional movie just adds to the general weirdness of the whole Giant Claw experience. Normally I would attempt to describe the impact made by the boggle-eyed monster puppet, but words are just not enough. All you really need to know is that star Jeff Morrow left the first screening of the movie he saw early, afraid he might be recognised, went home and allegedly started drinking. I would say get the drinking out of the way before you watch the movie.

"It’s just the greatest monster movie ever made. It’s so much weirder than it needed to be; in a way it’s kind of like Hellboy, where the first Hellboy movie was like, kind of normal, for what it was, but the second movie was so much weirder because the director was like, well I got that studio picture out of my system, now I’ll just go crazy. That’s what Bride of Frankenstein was like. It’s like a monster art film."

Interesting way of storytelling

This was a really interesting film. Though there are some rocky parts, it was still tense and compelling enough to keep me watching. Plus the fact they basically made sign language like a super skill in a world where you need to be silent is awesome!


I will say that they do show the monster way, way too early for me though and so it wasn't really scary.
