I'm Gav, host of the "My Favourite Film" Podcast, by day I'm a teacher by night, well that's a different matter.

Yokai Monsters Collection (1968/2005)(Review)

Before starting this review I have to ask you the question: have you heard of Yokai? If not this is definitely the place to start, if you have then this should be a great addition to your Blu-Ray collection. Arrow Video has collected together the original Yokai trilogy: 100 Monsters, […]
