Matango

(1963)Directed by Ishirō Honda89 minHorror, Science Fiction, Thriller, Drama, Mystery, Fantasy
“Can you survive the madness and terror of Matango?”

Kenji Murai (Akira Kubo) wants to get his seven shipmates home after a storm leaves their yacht crippled and drifting to an island near the equator. The only shelter is a rotting ship covered in fungus, and the food runs short fast, with Mami Sekiguchi (Kumi Mizuno) and the rest dividing what the earlier crew left behind. Ishirō Honda sets a small group against hunger and each other, and the fear is that appetite will do the damage.
