Eiji Tsuburaya
In a contemporary review, ""Whit." of "Variety" declared it as "generally a first-class endeavour" noting that "particular credit goes to Eiji Tsuburaya for his special effects" and the acting by Ryō Ikebe was a highlight of the cast. Another review from "Whit." from the same issue of "Variety" found its double feature "The Human Vapor" the more interesting film plotwise.
