The mysterious disappearance of a drug runner results

The mysterious disappearance of a drug runner results in both police and gangsters scrambling Tokyo for clues. Both parties suspect that the runner's girlfriend (Yumi Shirakawa) knows something, but a scientist (Kenji Sahara) suspects a radiated mutant is the true culprit. The H-Man is a weird hybrid of horror, noir, and sci-fi, but its appealing eccentricity is hobbled by pacing issues. It does have its own brand of oddball charm, but I'd only recommend it to hardcore fans of Japanese monster movies.

Kinda boring, but that is mostly due to

Kinda boring, but that is mostly due to the fact that its a detective movie with a monster subplot that only kicks in halfway. The effects are ok, but you sit through a lot to get there...

From the director of the original Godzilla film

From the director of the original Godzilla film, Ishirô Honda, which was a more high minded of sci-fi story about the dangers of nuclear weapons than were it's subsequent sequels, comes another tale excoriating the dangers of radiation and "H-Bombs." In this atomic-age story follows police detectives investigating the sudden disappearance of a suspected narcotics dealer only to figure out he was the victim of secret H-Bomb tests in the Pacific, which turned him and others into a sort of intelligent black slime that dissolves anyone or anything it touches. This story is pretty silly and watching the terrified denizen's of Tokyo run from slow moving slim will not trike much awe or terror in audiences. Interestingly, the American drive-in classic "The Blob" came out this same year and did manage to make a scary film about a growing blob of slime, which goes to show it can be done. However, in this film's favor, director Honda incorporates a number or film noir elements into the story and production, which makes this film stand apart from your typical Toho monster movie. It features some terrific nightclub scenes with fun music and atmosphere, as well as scenes shot around Tokyo, which had a cool Japanese "Mad Men" vibe. Overall, the ideas and action were not all that interesting, but if you're interested in later 1950s Japanese pop culture or are interested in a different kind of Japanese monster movie, you should check out "The H-Man."
