Konchu Daisenso (aka Genocide) (1968)

A swarm of killer insects takes down a U.S. bomber and its crew over the coast of Japan. The plane was carrying a hydrogen bomb. While the U.S. military seems more interested in recovering their bomb, a Japanese scientist (Keisuke Sonoi) is more interested in destroying the killer insects before they destroy mankind. Directed by Kazui Nihonmatsu, this is a perfectly dreadful piece of sci-fi junk. With a relatively brief running time of one hour and 24 minutes, I was still constantly thinking, "When will this movie end?". The characters are cartoonish, the U.S. military is portrayed as outrageous villains (I can see the U.S. military portrayed as the bad guys in a film like this but they're positively laughable as opposed to realistic) and there's not an iota of tension or fright in the entire movie! It's just a dumb bad movie without the entertainment factor bad movies can sometimes have. The film also uses the Holocaust in a tacky manner to somehow make the film relevant. This stinker actually thinks it's making an important statement. Unclean! With Yusuke Kawazu, Emi Shindo, Kathy Horan and Reiko Hitomi.
