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.

Gayly Dreadful

This mix of fantastical whimsy and stark political critique, like the monster, doesn't always coalesce into perfect union. But man, once it gets going, it's a complete blast.

Rated: 3/5

Heo Jong-ho's Monstrum is a film that wears many hats-or, er, many gats.

Rated: 6/10

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.

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.

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...

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
