A real memory with this trailer. I was stationed in Hawaii back in 1978 with the Marine Corps at Camp HM Smith. I had the weekend duty in the guard shack. On a Saturday night around 2 in the morning this movie came on. It was raining outside on that early morning, a steady drizzle. There was a very old B/W 12" TV with about 3 channels on it for our viewing pleasure. My fat assistant is snoring behind me on the rack in his boxer shorts. I say to myself "someday this will be funny when you look back, but right now it's not". Yipe, it's a funny memory now.

I know the whole premis of this movie sounds silly but it is actually quite a scary movie. I remember watching it once or twice on Creature Double Feature show on Channel 56 (Boston) when I was a kid. Usually I just wanted to see the Godzilla or Gamera movies they usually showed, but this one was a favorite of mine as well.

Creepy,haunting,film. The shroud of death hangs over it. Stuffy film critics,who belittled and wrote this film off were puzzled by & laughed at it's dread fixation on mushrooms. 'A gothic horror movie about mushrooms? Whats so scary about mushrooms' They complained. But I think the mushroom creatures might've been intended to resemble & be symbolic of the mushroom clouds of the H bombs that were tested in the Pacific. The gloomy island was saturated with radioactive fallout from those tests.

Many people snicker at this film, but I watched it late at night when I was a kid...and it was a pretty creepy flick. It's based on the W. H. Hodgson story "A Voice In The Night" and even as an adult, it's pretty atmospheric. The Mushroom People look silly, but you don't see a lot of them. Also...when I was a kid...I sort of thought of the shipwrecked crew as a Japanese version of the crew of the Minnow. There's the Asian versions of Ginger, The Professor, Skipper and all the rest.

I watched this numerous times on TV in the 1960s, as "Attack of the Mushroom People". In black & white, on a small screen, there was a lot that you couldn't really identify by sight. That, however, did not serve to impress or scare me in the least.

If you read very deeply into the story arc... you can make the case that they are not exactly monsters, but almost acting in the best interest of the castaways. Their argument goes something like this: You can join us & survive (Albeit in a mushroomized state) or starve & die. And we won't let you die! There is at leats a hint of altruizim there. At the very least, more than (Spoiler alert!) when the sole survivor is rescued & brought home & they dump him in a terminal ward!

Yeah - it seems stupid on the surface but it actually is a first class horror film - "Matango, fungus of terror" - I remember reading the short story it was based on and it works. Inshiro Honda did direct the 1956 Godzilla ("Gojira") which was a classic. Who knew?
