From Mill Creek Entertainment. In 1966, the Daiei Motion Picture Company - the studio behind Akira Kurosawa's
Rashomon and the
Gamera series - released a trilogy of films that combined elements of the popular daikaiju (giant monster) and jidaigeki (period drama) genres. Set during Japan's "Warring States" era, the
Daimajin movies told the story of Majin, a giant statue of an angry god that would come to life in times of desperation to punish evildoers. But when Majin's rage was unleashed, it could be directed at both the wicked and innocent, alike. Acclaimed for their serious tone and spectacular special effects,
Daimajin,
Return of Daimajin and the rarely-seen
Daimajin Strikes Again present a unique take on a monster who is both savior and devil.
