How Gamera 2: Attack of Legion scares

Gamera 2: Attack of Legion is a giant-monster spectacle first and a horror movie only in the loosest sense, built around city-smashing battles rather than dread. The pacing is more disaster-movie than scary-movie, with tense military build-up leading into big, destructive creature clashes. Any fear here is about scale and destruction, not about being hunted or haunted, and it's the kind of thing you watch for awe and excitement rather than to feel unsettled. Great for kids or families who like monsters, not for anyone looking for something creepy.
