Thanks for the english dub!
Very good
My favorite Ishirô Honda film . . .
Thank you! Although with original audio would be even better!
Cool I have forgotten about Japanese Horror from the 60s Ishiro Honda was a great name of the genre. It'd be great to see more titles like this weird gem.
japanese version with original opening credits (not the american titles) and english dubbing
Used to watch this film on my local Late Night Friday Horror show, "Project Terror". Then titled as "Attack of the Mushroom People". Really weird and out there, but I really liked it then, and now.

English dubbing is badly out of sync. Also, there's no option to toggle it to the original Japanese dub.
