Matango - Attack of the Mushroom People - DVD

By: Iloz Zoc - Blogcritics.org Reviews

Published on: 4/18/2007 12:29 PM

Have an insatiable appetite for radiation-laced mushrooms and 1960s Japanese horror-fantasy? While the cheese is melting in the fondue pot, put on Matango: Attack of the Mushroom People. Make sure everyone has their beverage of choice and is comfortably seated. Get the shiitake mushrooms ready while they enjoy this Gilligan's Island meets Lord of the Flies with fungus cinematic delight. Whenever any of the characters onscreen munch on a mushroom, have everybody yell "Matango!" and dip their mushrooms into the melted cheese. Yummy. You'll have more fun than mimes at a karaoke party!...read the full review
