For the first time during all these years since the original ' Godzilla ' of 1954 I realise the first three letters of the title of all of them ' God ' really does have a meaning, and in a dreadful sense it is echoed in the banal Elvis Presley song ' The Devil in disguise. ' Two monsters in this film, both the natural forces of nature, are finally in combat. The direction of this premise is filmed mainly in a dreadful darkness, and the effect is one of metaphysical horror. One possible spoiler I must partly reveal is the fate of the woman acted beautifully by the actor Juliette Binoche. Quentin Tarantino apparently cried watching it; I was appalled at it. How life has little meaning, if anything, when confronted by the darkest side of nature itself. I do not want to give more away but to say that it is one of the most horrific films I have seen, and somewhere in the primal terror of it is Ligeti's ' Requiem ' an apt piece of the limit of music to be used. I commend the director for making these musical forces, and anyone who wants just sensationalist rubbish to avoid this film. If you take its premise seriously it could drive you mad.
