Matango
Can you survive the madness and terror of Matango?
Directed by Ishirō Honda
Produced by TOHO, Tokyo Laboratory
A deeply unsettling sci-fi horror about castaways descending into madness and bodily transformation on a fungus-infested island, where survival becomes a descent into something inhuman.
Five vacationers and two crewmen become stranded on a tropical island near the equator. The island has little edible food for them to use as they try to live in a fungus covered hulk while repairing Kessei's yacht. Eventually they struggle over the food rations which were left behind by the former crew. Soon they discover something unfriendly there...
