    The Secret of the Telegian

    ★★★½

    Jun Fukuda’s first appearance in this marathon, and a pretty solid way to start it off. Secret of the Telegian has a really fun concept all about teleportation. It’s a thriller mystery, even though it’s pretty easy to figure out who the killer is. Some tense killing scenes, great action sequences, and creepy set pieces, this one is a lot of fun. The ranch house scene at night is so spooky, and Nakamaru’s performance as Sudo is so creepy it…

The scenes in space are really cool to look at,…

    ★★

    It’s unfortunate that there isn’t a better way to watch this movie as of right now, because there are some awesome shots and set pieces here. The snowman is fun to watch, and I really loved the cave set pieces. Unfortunately that’s where the positives end for me. There’s a whole lot of nothing going on at times, no dialogue or music at all for what feels like way too long. Cool scenery can only carry so much.

    It starts…
