Monstrum

As an American I truly enjoy these foreign flicks! Old culture wrapped into a good action monster movie with fantastic cinematography!!!! And always great acting and humor.

I found "Monstrum" to be an enjoyable monster action movie. I happened to watch this movie on a transatlantic flight because I was bored with Hollywood material. That being said, it is clearly a hollywoodesque Korean movie.

"Monstrum" has a high body count, lots of blood and chopped off body parts, and the action keeps you entertained. The story is just enough to listen to while you wait for the resolution of the character arcs. Hell, I even felt like crying in the last scene because of the drama. Recommended if you look for monster action movie that doesn't play in the US but gives you a glimpse into a non-Western culture.

Coincidence or not I think we can all agree that Rampant and Monstrum are basically the same movie when both of them set in the same era with the same plot,the same type of characters with the same motivation and the only thing that make these two movie worth watching for me is one is a zombie flick and one is a creature feature flick and when it comes to the entertainment value all I can says is they all both equally enjoyable.If it possible I want to see an alien invasion movie set in Joseon era next.

Coincidentally this is the second Korean period action film I saw. The kingdom is under the threat of plague. Orders r issued to eliminate all the infected ones. A general is exiled after he saves a small girl being terminated. His sidekick tags along with him cos he owns his life to the warrior. Fast forward in the future n ther r rumors of a terrifying creature in the mountains. The King calls upon the general out of retirement. The story isn't gripping, the characters r not sketched properly. The creature effects r noteworthy. It looks like a hybrid. Body of a raging bull n face of a lion. Ther is some good action but the camera work n editing is shoddy. Nevertheless, it's a decent creature flick.

A former soldier and his brother, along with his step- daughter, are called into action when a monster threating civilization starts to attack people. Very well made monster flick, with great acting and good script.
