Godzilla vs. Hedorah

1971 · 85 min

A trippy, earnest monster mash with a psychedelic edge and a surprisingly grim ecological message.

Tagline
The Smog Monster Hedorah arrives in a shooting star!
Overview
An ever evolving alien life-form arrives on a comet from the Dark Gaseous Nebula and proceeds to consume pollution. Spewing mists of sulfuric acid and corrosive sludge, neither humanity nor Godzilla may be able to defeat this toxic menace.
