Critics Consensus

Animated with infectious energy and vibrant colors, KPop Demon Hunters is jaunty family entertainment with a terrific soundtrack to boot.

Audience Says

With undeniable catchy tunes that ‘hit the spot’, KPop Demon Hunters is pure bubble gum for the brain: fun, sweet, synthetic joy that sticks with you all day.

Sam Jennings

New Statesman

The most disturbing element of Demon Hunters is the subtle message that keeps poking through its bright, frenetic surface: that there’s nothing wrong, or even essentially exploitative, about contemporary fame.

Kelechi Ehenulo

Empire Magazine

An animated film showing you “how it’s done, done, done” — as HUNTR/X would put it — this is a stunning musical treat, a joy for all ages. Now warm up the vocal cords and bring on the sequel.

Rated: 4/5

The Film Verdict

Probably the year’s funniest animated feature, from the interactions between the three distinct personalities of our heroines to the portrayal of over-the-top fandom.

Mel Campbell

ABC Radio (Australia)

Animation is better than live action at capturing that slick, intense, fetishistic glamour of Kpop, lingering on details like a fan's eye does … but then [the film] uses a looser comic style to express how unhinged the fans' big emotional reactions are.

Michael Medved

The Michael Medved Show

Despite all the acclaim, it's really not very good, with overwrought hammy vocal performances, bizarrely but artfully drawn characters, and a plot that combines predictability with some feeble attempts at profundity.

Rated: 2/4

Excellent experience! Being able to sing along with the crowd added extra magic to an already magical movie. This film was meant to be shared and on the big screen. Someone we brought with us to see it for the first time went home and watched it again multiple times on Netflix!
