I bought this as part of huge Blu-Ray pack of grade C through Z double features that you most probably have seen, or turned off, on any given Saturday or Sunday on the Syfy channel. Actually some of these are so bad that I don't think Syfy would even show them, but as a Blu-Rays they are stunning. One reviewer remarked that is was surreal seeing such low grade Sci-Fi shlock in such amazing High Definition. I haven't seen all the movies in this pack yet, actually only 3. I watched this for the first time this morning. It does have a Japanese sub theme (which I was completely unaware of) that pairs somewhat nicely with the previous Gamera flick. As far a film is concerned, it's not at all to be watched to "deep enjoyment," but you will get a hell of a laugh out of most of it. I mean, come on, a shark that bites the Golden Gate bridge in half??? Oh so utterly awesome and, simultaneously, awful at the same time! The one serious drawback that I have with this set is that it is too expensive for the actual qualities of the movies themselves--not the high def. part, all the rest: the plot, the cheesy monsters, low grade "special effects." It retails for a whopping $74.99 and sells on Amazon for $46.49. Even at Amazon prices, almost $5.00 per movie is too much to pay for a pack that includes at least one Born Again Christian movie about the Mayan long count calendar or film about the haunting of the famous (or infamous) Winchester Manson in California that has nothing to do with....the Winchester Mansion! If you can find it for less at a vendor, then it's worth it.
Also for what it's worth, I did actually enjoy this movie. It's good fun--not scary, but Fun!
If you are looking for this on Amazon it goes under the title of 10 Movie Pack. If you look up any of the individual titles, this pack won't come up.
