Huh Jong-Hos monster movie has all the chronicled period traits you could want, he just throws a cool, potentially-non-existent tiger-monkey-beast into the mix with some cool sequences that feel closer to a video game than a film. Go to Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia 10/01/2021

jose raul b 04/17/2021 This action/fantasy movie has a very original plot mixed with very good battle scenes set on the ancient chinesse context. A must see for asian culture lovers. See more 01/21/2021 MONSTRUM is a fantasy monster tale with blood, disease and sharp objects. The creature design is pretty solid, mashing together realistic cgi and traditional demonic styles. The setting in old world South Korea enhances the bizarre-ness. It's not a scary film but it takes place during the bubonic plague, where the plague is given monstrous form. Check your gag reflexes at the door. See more 07/06/2020 One of the best creature movies I've seen in years. Awesome movie! See more 05/20/2020 Una especie de mezcla de El Pacto de los Lobos y Kingdom, con un trabajo de cámara, tono narrativo y efectos especiales que no siempre están a la altura; pero se deja ver...
