Matango (1963)
7/10
Cool movie

Warning: Spoilers
This movie use to play on an old, Saturday late night horror movie TV show on a local Chicago station when I was growing up. I could never remember its name, but I remember how spooky it was. And the mushroom makeup was creepy. {{{{Spoiler Alert}}} The ending, where the lead character who's retelling the story is revealed to have turned into a mushroom, freaked me out as a kid. Asian horror films have always been very good and much better and more professional than some of the cheesy monster flicks --which were entertaining in their own right. This film ranks up there with some of the better horror films -- past or present.
