As far as I'm concerned, if Japan never made another movie before or after this senses-melting Technicolor annihilator, they'd still be the most entertaining nation in the third dimension. Every sound, hue, special effect and performance here is like nothing ever seen on film. Survivors of a mysterious plane crash are stalked by mucus-based interplanetary silver blobs bent on destroying mankind by reanimating human corpses. Mix in mascara-smeared male terrorists, genitaliaesque forehead growths, bubble-shaped saucers, massive psychotic frenzies and epilepsy-strobe anti-war propaganda and you've just scratched the surface of what this 84 minute hatefuck-psychedelia zombie/alien invasion skull-shredder has to offer. Obscenely underrated creator-director Sato had previously sharpened his teeth on gonzo Sonny Chiba monster epics like THE GOLDEN BAT and TERROR BENEATH THE SEA -- as well as a live action children's TV series called LITTLE SATAN (!!) -- but GOKE is far and away the pinnacle of his psychotically deranged genius.
