Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaToho had created a self-imposed ban on the film, and is thus not available on home video in Japan, due to the negative manner in which the Burakumin (not the Ainu, as is commonly believed) are portrayed, as inbred mutant savages. The film is, however, screened at film festivals showing the works of director Ishiro Honda.
- Alternate versionsLater recut into the American film _Half Human (1958)_. Almost an hour of the Japanese footage was discarded.
- ConnectionsEdited into Half Human (1958)

Jû jin yuki otoko: The worst Toho movie
I'm binging Toho movies and have to say that thus far Half Human is by far the worst.
It tells the story of a yeti like creature and its kin that an expedition comes across on Mount Fuji.
Looking dated even for 1955, lacking any of the Toho charm and without Kurosawa this is an absolute disjointed mess with no redeeming features.
Make no mistake this isn't a traditional over the top Toho creature film like Godzilla or Rodan, it's a poor sasquatch film that fails to entertain.
The Good:
Nothing springs to mind
The Bad:
Story is very poorly constructed
Looks terrible
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Toho have far from a flawless record
