    A beautiful film. I felt well wrapped in pretty gothic vibe.  There was so little light and color that, at times, I’d forget it was not a black and white film. And rats. So many rats.

    ★★★½

    All Monsters Attack was in heavy rotation in the school break matinées of the early 70s. Rewatching took me straight back to my neighborhood theater, where a couple of bucks got me a movie ticket, popcorn, and a soda, while my mom got 2 hours of peace. 

    Is it a great film? No! Is it a good film? Probably not! I see critics generally agree it is among the worst of the Godzilla movie offerings, and that might be true…
