Celebrate the world of movie monsters and beasts with Kaiju Unleashed, a complete reference guide to strange creatures in film and how they came to be.

Kaiju (Japanese for "strange creature") is a film genre that emerged in Japan in the early '50s. The movies center on giant monsters battling humans, machines, or other beasts. First popular in the '50s and '60s, this film category has stomped its way back into mainstream culture.

This comprehensive guide features:
  • A foreword by Jason Barr, author of The Kaiju Film and The Kaiju Connection
  • A thorough discussion of monster movies (Gamera; Rodan; Destroy All Monsters)
  • Insight into how kaiju has impacted international films (Ant-Man; Attack of the 50-Foot Woman; Jurassic Park)
  • Stunning movie posters and film stills, plus fan-made tributes to some of the kaiju classics (Godzilla; King Kong; Mothra; Pacific Rim)

If you are a kaiju fan or are interested in kaiju's cultural influence worldwide, this display-worthy volume provides the perfect general introduction to the genre, reference to its film highlights, and celebration of its practitioners, trends, and stories.
