Japan Unleashes its Own Monster Squad with Kaibutsu-Kun
Oh, Japan. We love your resiliency in the face of tragedy. We love your strange fascination with tentacles, and most of all we love your nothing short of outrageous films. Yet another monster filled tale is on its way from the Far East, and we've got your first look at Kaibutsu-Kun right here!

Kaibutsu-Kun is a children's horror movie that's based upon a 1965 Manga from Fujiko Fujio. Directed by Yoshihiro Nakamura, Kaibutsu-Kun opens in Japan this November and stars Satoshi Ohno, Norito Yashima, Ryûhei Ueshima, and Choi Hong Man.
