xpig332 B @RT69712065 Jul 30 Ridiculously stupid and GROOVY! See more Chris M @RT21954632 09/14/2022 This is SOOO cool, the creature effects the main her and the action. A near perfect movie. But not quite perfect. The two guys from the power company can get a little annoying at times. But a small complaint to a near perfect movie. See more 08/04/2017 (***): Thumbs Up A lot of fun. See more 08/04/2017 I rather enjoyed this and it proved to have a rather gripping plot. I appreciated that some time was taken to build the secondary characters a bit. See more 06/22/2013 Cheap and Cheerful Japanese science fiction romp. A bounty hunter known as Iria has traveled to Earth in preparation for the arrival of a monster known as Zeiram. She encounters two electricians, who accidentally get in the way of her plans, and the trio must work together to take down the monster. Certainly held back by its budget, this is one of those films that is even more impressive due to its restraints. It uses costumes, practical effects, and stop-motion animation very well. However, it must also set a lot of the film in a desolate "parallel" universe, which makes the film seem kind of hollow. The story is also very repetitive, as Zeiram is captured a number of times, escaping each time, and then getting captured again. This runs the risk of getting very old very fast, and the film is definitely longer than it has to be. The three human leads have great chemistry, and what looks as though it will be gawkish humour at points, turns into little character quirks that are quite acceptable. It's a fun 90s film, from a time before CGI. See more 06/08/2009 I've seen much better, but for an early 90's japanese sci-fi flick it's not too bad. Kinda fun, really. See more Read all reviews
