Son of Godzilla + introduction by Toshiko Kurata (PG)

All Kaiju Attack: Earth SOS!

A film still showing a baby Godzille kneeling on the ground

Godzilla becomes a father at a time of great danger, as a group of scientists accidentally create mutated insect monsters and a giant spider is on the hunt…

Once again, humanity’s meddling with nature leads to disaster, as scientists seeking to control the weather unleash a dangerous horde of giant insects. Son of Godzilla introduces a number of new kaiju to the franchise: mutated mantis creatures (Kamacuras), a predatory monster spider (Humonga) and, less horrifyingly, Minilla, Godzilla’s child.

Despite a lighter tone than earlier Japanese creature features, Son of Godzilla shows the dangers of upsetting the natural balance. The touching scenes of Godzilla teaching his son how to breathe fire are countered by the permanent threat of the savage monsters. The dash of humour in the film struck a lighter tone for the later films in the Godzilla franchise.
