Summary: Superb showa Gamera film, subpar DVD
Review: War of the Monsters, aka Gamera vs. Barugon, is one of the showa (60s - 80s) Gamera series' highlights. The film is perhaps the most serious entry in the series and is the first color Gamera film.

However, the DVD from alpha video isn't quite up to task of showing this classic kaiju film in all of its brilliance. The worst problem on the disc is the print of the film. The film is in color, but you might not know that unless you knew it was beforehand. The colors are so faded on the film, it could be thought that it was filmed in black and white. Yet, this film can not be found on region 1 DVD anywhere else, and for 7 bucks, I highly recommend you pick it up, despite its faults.
