If Chris Chan took the Björk Stalker Tapes and the Columbine Tapes and cut them together with complete randomness, and if that somehow gave him a psychedelic action-packed musical Godzilla film with videogame and 60s Television influences, and then if he did this multiple times for more than 2 decades and randomly cut all of those together, you might just get a film that matches the experience that is watching Dragon Lizard Lord Super Monsters. Maybe.

It is an unrelenting 64 minute assault on every sensory input you have. It boggles the mind and leaves you completely speechless. There is no fundamental rule to filmmaking or storytelling that it does not thoroughly destroy, there is no choice it makes that is even mildly comprehensible, and there is no moment while watching this that you will be safe. This is, without a doubt, a movie like no other.

I will additionally say that there is nothing more surreal than the director's commentary to this movie. Hearing director Omar Sayyah talk about all the various ways he nearly drowned and lit himself on fire while making this (sometimes simultaneously); the dangerous people he hung out with in his youth (one of whom threatened him with a gun for wanting the Dragon to win in Beowulf); his lamentations over technical limitations and the challenges of filming on set (including his run-ins with the law during production); his admitting that there are moments in this film that even he does not understand (this happens more than once); and above all else that this movie ranks, in his humble opinion, as one of the greatest works ever made and should be considered a national treasure (that a shot ever time he says " it's beautiful"); was a magical experience. Also he claims to be Gamera.

Fateful Findings, Birdemic, Who Killed Captain Alex, Cool Cat Saves the Kids and The Room. This work revivals all the the greats and is certainly the most aggressive out of all of them. Many crimes have been committed in this world, but I dread to think of what it will mean for humanity if Omar Sayyah is never able to create another film again. His vision is too pure to be squandered and I have been truly blessed to have watched this.

I don't know what else to say, so lastly I will let everyone know that this movie has an animated comedy sequel. I don't know if I am ready to see it, I am worried I will go deaf.
