Goke, Body Snatcher from Hell

A passenger jet full of thoroughly unpleasant people goes down in a wasteland under a blood-red sky, and the survivors soon discover they are not alone. A silver alien slime called Gokemidoro slips into a body through a gash in the forehead and starts turning people into blood-drinking husks, and the film uses the setup to be as bleak about the human race as a genre film can manage. Shochiku shot it in 1968 as their strangest stab at horror, and Tarantino lifted the bleeding-sky shot wholesale for the opening of Kill Bill. It is Cold War despair dressed as a monster movie, and the final image is one of the most pitiless in Japanese genre cinema.
