The H-Man

If you think about it I’m the h man

in a strange twist of sub-plots, the mafia/crime aspect of the film is more entertaining and enjoyable than the ‘blob’ thing. 

I was not expecting the various sub-plots within the film. I’d like to say I didn’t mind it but I wasn’t really expecting it - and found it quite irritating. I did enjoy the more realistic and entertaining version of the mafias crime and stalking of Arai. 

The special effects aren’t great but I guess they hold up for their time. But man is it unpleasant to watch. 

All in all, wish I enjoyed the film more. I liked the premise and the idea of the film, just thought the actual blob or killer slime was underscored immensely.

The H-Man: 2.3/5

What a ridiculous movie.
When I saw the duration, I thought it would be light, but oh boy, was I wrong.
I expected this movie to be so bad that it's funny, or even interesting - but no. It was just really terribly made, and I'm not talking about the effects.
The way the story unfolds and just keeps dragging out things we all know a hundred thousand times, the horrible English dubbing we watched it with, the awful scenes of the h-man, which weren't even that interesting or badass, it was just made like a fart that slowly materializes and kills people.
Horrible movie (for me). I never thought an hour could feel like four hours so easily, but with this movie, it was all too easily achievable.

This was a really fun Japanese take on the blob that actually predates the blob by a little! Solid, fun effects and some fun, campy performances adds up to a fun 90 minutes of Honda doing something other than Godzilla and it kinda rocks!! What’s up with people in the 50s being scared of blobs? What do they know that we don’t?
