Synopsis
Daimajin (1966) is a Japanese fantasy film you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Kimiyoshi Yasuda and produced by Daiei Studios.
A warlord kills a samurai lord and seizes his domain. The lord's two children escape and spend a decade in hiding at the base of a mountain, protected by a shrine maiden who guards a giant stone idol. The son grows up and moves to take revenge — and is captured. His sister turns to the mountain spirit. The idol wakes.
Daiei built the film as a hybrid of jidaigeki period drama and tokusatsu: a stone giant in place of a sea monster. The tone is grimmer than the premise suggests, and the creature doesn't appear until the final act — which is exactly why it lands. Stream Daimajin online on iFILM.
