The premise

Godzilla has become a distant memory for Japan when the destruction of a US submarine raises alarms for Admiral Tachibana. His estranged daughter Yuri investigates the legend of the guardian monsters, who must rise to protect Japan against the vengeful spirits within Godzilla that seek to destroy both the nation and its people for the suffering they inflicted in the Pacific conflict.

Horror Vault's take

When mysterious attacks signal that something ancient and wrathful is stirring beneath Japanese waters, a young journalist begins unraveling a forgotten legend of guardian monsters destined to defend the nation. This entry in the Godzilla franchise takes a darker, more spiritually charged turn, reimagining the iconic titan as a vessel for the unquiet souls of those who perished in the Pacific War. The guardian kaiju that rise to face him carry deep mythological roots, giving the city-smashing spectacle an unexpected emotional and historical weight. It is a kaiju film with a conscience — epic in scale yet haunted at its core.
