Here at Monster Island News we spend a lot of time talking about big budget films and low budget films, but we really don't get a chance to talk a lot about fan films, which is a pity because some of them are rather quite good. They are even sometimes better than their studio made counterparts, because they are generally made by people who understand the genre that they are making a movie about better then people who spend hours behind a desk. The same can be said for a good chunk of the independent films being produced as well.

Case in point is today's feature, "Mothra X MechaGodzilla: Revenge of the Black Hole Aliens", a film made by a MIN reader named Jon (internet handle Anguri-San) who has his own little home-made movie company called Uncanny Studios. Here is a surprisingly good little film made in a rocky back-yard using Bandai figures and trees from an HO scale model train set.

Now that may sound kinda hokey, but Jon does a really good job with what he has on hand. You have to remember that this is not low budget cinema, it's no budget cinema. Basically made with money out of his own pocket.

Of course a film like this is going to be limited in the scope of what the film maker can do, but you have to tip your hat off to Jon, the ape makeup in the film is very, very good, the sound and music is top-notch, the acting is good, and the story isn't bad either.

Granted, the film does use action figures for the monster action, but in the end it kinda makes the whole thing a lot of fun to watch.

Here is how the film maker describes his film, "MOTHRA X MECHAGODZILLA: Revenge of the Black Hole Aliens" is a fun little 15 minute homage to the showa era and all things from the golden age of Godzilla. I put quite a bit of work into making it crisp and fun."

That just about sums it up. Jon's film is just as he intended it, a crisp and fun homage to the golden age of Japanese monster films.

I think that all the fans of these films will enjoy this one!
