Michel de Nostradamus's prediction about the world ending in July 1999 has proved to be wide of the mark. But with warnings about global warning continuing to go unheeded, there's an eerie prescience about Toshio Masuda's catastrophic vision. With giant slugs turning the seas red, vegetation mutating and monsters roaming the desolate wilderness, this can either be viewed as a dire portent of biospheric and civil meltdown or as a camp classic. A vaguely similar scenario informs Nostradamus: Fearful Prediction (1995), which was sponsored by a religious cult and was, unusually for a Japanese film, directed by a woman, Yumiko Awaya.

Do not waste 90 minutes of your life - you deserve better!
I had the misfortune to see 40 minutes or so at the cinema before walking out (enduring 10 minutes of this tripe feels like a prison sentence). The 'film&#... more
