Okay, update time: I rounded out my Gamera collection over the last month and, wow, definitely have to agree with you on the excellence of the Heisei trilogy! They were all great; especially Revenge of Iris! I can see how they were borrowing from Godzilla's contemporaneous direction a little bit, but there's so much more coherence and legit suspense-building to be found here than in the contemporaneous era of Godzilla movies that yeah, I can see why the Heisei trilogy is compared positively to them. I was surprised at how dark a direction they took, especially by Revenge of Iris. Just very satisfying. Thanks for the recommendation. |
No worries, really glad you enjoyed them!
They're among my personal favourite kaiju films and I love the darker yet still fun approach they take to the genre. Revenge of Iris is one of my genre favourites, I just love its majestic, apocalyptic tone and how much passion and dedication shows through in every aspect of the production.
