Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue
Watch TrailerDoctors Kazamatsuri and Onizuka are geneticists researching cures on diseases such as AIDS and cancer by performing experiments to strengthen the human body. The test subject is Shin Kazamatsuri, motorcycle racer son of Doctor Kazamatsuri. Unknown to them, their operation is funded by a syndicate group, who plan to use this research to have the bodies of men strengthened for their own gain—they have already been experimenting in the field of cyborg soldiers, to a less-than-successful attempt. However, they did not count on Onizuka's own secret ambitions; the mad Onizuka wanted to create a new species, by fusing a grasshopper's DNA with the test subject's, in order to start a new civilization and be their god. He has tested on himself, but seems to be having greater success with Shin.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
A grim, body-horror reinterpretation of the iconic hero, grounding the myth in the unsettling ethics of genetic manipulation. The film trades spandex for visceral transformation, focusing on the loss of humanity.
What lingers after the credits is the chilling premise of a hero born not from accident, but from deliberate, monstrous ambition. It's a compelling, flawed prototype for a darker tokusatsu. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Makoto Tsuji
