There's a campaign to upload the lost Korean kaiju film to Youtube!

This is getting a blu ray & VHS release from SRS cinema with pre-orders starting today at 7 PM EST. Seems very cheesy in terms of effects and acting but it's one of the only surviving all Korean kaiju/tokusatsu films in existence and thought to be long lost before it premiered at Fantasia Film Festival. So if you want a part of kaiju lore and history, here's your chance to pick this up.

The film will be released on Blu-Ray in the States in January. The distributor is SRS Cinema. This his HUGE news for kaiju fans, since it's never, ever been shown anywhere in the West to the best of my knowledge.
