It appears now they're deliberately withholding doing it and ignore any emails written to them about it. For some reason this is not a motion picture they seem very proud to have produced.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16605980.post-63095281893226197622014-04-17T09:24:25.865+01:002014-04-17T09:24:25.865+01:00Odd that so many animals attack films have been re...Odd that so many animals attack films have been released on vhs and dvd but not this film..very well made Michael Sarrazin died last year I believe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16605980.post-11813857321992511172012-02-14T21:52:36.378+00:002012-02-14T21:52:36.378+00:00Still apparently not available on official DVD any...Still apparently not available on official DVD anywhere.

I couldn't remember the title of the film and did a google search with "cat" and "horror film." So terrible this hasn't been released on DVD!Passionate Ornithologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05323952253045083262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16605980.post-59671016127974293282010-12-01T15:34:50.103+00:002010-12-01T15:34:50.103+00:00FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Agoura Hills, California
“...FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<br /><br />Agoura Hills, California<br /><br />“MUSHROOM CLOUDS AND MUSHROOM MEN -- THE FANTASTIC CINEMA OF ISHIRO HONDA” by Peter H. Brothers. <br /> <br />For the first time in America, a book has been published on Japan's foremost director of Fantasy Films: “MUSHROOM CLOUDS AND MUSHROOM MEN – The Fantastic Cinema of Ishiro Honda” (AuthorHouse, ISBN: 978-1-4490-2771-1).<br /> <br />Known primarily for directing such classic Japanese monster movies as Rodan, Mothra, Attack of the Mushroom People and the original Godzilla, Honda has been a much-overlooked figure in mainstream international cinema.<br /> <br />MUSHROOM CLOUDS AND MUSHROOM MEN is the first book to cover in English print Honda’s life as well comprehensively evaluates all 25 of his fantasy films. It is also gives objective and critical analysis of Honda's filmmaking methods, themes and relationships with actors and technicians.<br /> <br />Making use of extensive interviews from Honda’s colleagues, as well as a wealth of original source material never before gathered into one volume (including previously-unpublished essays), MUSHROOM CLOUDS AND MUSHROOM MEN is an affectionate tribute to the most-prolific and influential director in the history of fantasy films.<br /><br />Best Wishes and Thanks!Peter H.

Even 'hard to find' and 'rare movie' suppliers can't come up with it.<br />The 'wheelchair on the hill' sequence is on a par with Hitchcock at his best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
