The Season of Horror Lives: Genocide (1968)

Way back when, during the inaugural Season of Horror, I purchased the Criterion Eclipse Series 37 set, When Horror Came to Shochiku, to broaden my horror horizons. Eight years later, I'm finally getting around to digging in to the set with today's featured film, Genocide. It seemed an appropriate time to explore some good old fashioned ecological horror, and this one is a doozy. It is currently streaming on the Criterion Channel


"The Earth doesn't belong to human beings alone. We don't care if mankind destroys itself with nuclear weapons, but we refuse to let you take us with you. Destroy the human race! Genocide. Exterminate all humans!"
