A skyscraper-sized monster looms over the city. He rips trains off their tracks with his clawed hands, decimates entire city blocks with a flick of his tail, and crushes terrified humans underfoot with each heavy step. It’s a horrifying sight, made somehow scarier by the stark black-and-white visuals that fill the screen, emphasizing the terror of a beast like Godzilla while forcing the audience to fill in the blanks for themselves.
