Giant beast film
A monster movie is a film featuring a large, dangerous creature as the central threat—giant apes, dinosaurs, sea beasts, or mutated animals.
The genre emphasizes spectacle and destruction: We watched old monster movies all weekend.
Japanese monster movies featuring Godzilla and similar creatures are called kaiju films.
