Decided to check this out after seeing clips on Tik Tok, and wow... What a journey this goes on in just 50 minutes.

Combining Guillermo Del Toro level creature design (though it's sad to see Del Toro so blatantly rip off one of these designs for Pan's Labyrinth), Akira-esque themes of telepathy and body horror, and Super Sentai style action sequences really make the film add up to something greater than it has any right to be.

Watch it for the spider battle sequence alone.

Such beautiful practical effects for the first Kamen Rider movie (besides the Gavv show) I've seen so far

I wouldn't be shocked at all if this movie inspired lots of practical effect artists!

Solid A toku work. Formulaic down to the t. Cinematically, what comes in between the beats? Here it’s mostly melodramatic family dynamics (the child character has a quasi-evil scientist dad). There’s a nice successive flow of monster and badguy progression. We get a plethora of enemies with final callback to the main big bad, no slouch! This is a great 80s/90s monster flick and an even better tokusatsu feature length film.
