Yes, class, there's more to Japanese Sci-Fi than Godzilla and his giant buddies!


On the 25th episode of The Rad Revival House, our host Professor Cesare Augusto analyzes the bizarre and visually-striking 1968 Science Fiction chiller GOKE, BODY SNATCHER FROM HELL. Directed by one of Japan's premiere genre directors Hajima Sato (CAPTAIN ULTRA, THE GOLDEN BAT), GOKE tells the gripping tale of a small band of plane crash survivors who must contend with a flying saucer attack, a crippling growing tension amongst each other, and bloodthirsty space vampires.


Not limited to just being an alien invasion adventure, GOKE is also a profound character piece which emphasizes human nature during a time of severe crisis; in this case, an extraterrestrial attack! Join Professor Augusto as we delve into one of the deepest and most graphically-gruesome Japanese Sci-Fi thriller to ever come out of the late 60s!
