Giant Horde Beast Nezura

Giant Horde Beast Nezura[18] (大群獣ネズラ, Daigunjū Nezura, lit. 'The Great Rat Swarm') is an unfinished 1964 kaiju film directed by Mitsuo Murayama and produced by Daiei Film. The film's production was shut down by the health department because the wild brown rats used were escaping the set and had the potential to transmit disease to the surrounding area.[19] Despite the project's cancellation, the studio was not dissuaded from producing more kaiju films, and released Gamera, the Giant Monster the following year.

Development

The film developers were inspired by Hitchcock’s The Birds "animal attack" concept, but decided to replace birds with giant rats.^{[citation needed]}
