How can I make my list of favorite films complete, when I can’t find “Matango” on this site?
You may know it as “Attack of the Mushroom People,” but this classic Japanese film from 1963,
directed by Ishirô Honda, should be considered a classic.
It was filmed in amazing color with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio. If you haven’t seen it, hurry up and rent it.
Here’s a brief description I borrowed from Amazon:
After a yacht is damaged in a storm and it’s boarders stranded on a deserted island the passengers; a psychologist and his girlfriend, a wealthy businessman, a famous singer, a writer, a sailor and his skipper take refuge in a mysterious fungus-covered boat. While using the MUSHROOMS for sustenance they find in the ships journal that the mushrooms re poisonous, however some members of the shipwrecked party continue to ingest the mysterious fungi transforming them into hideous ungal monsters. One of the strangest and most horrific TOHO productions to date.
