Monstrum
Directed by Jong-ho Huh
It’s the 16th Century. The plague has taken over and fear runs rampant in the streets. When rumors of a vicious beast roaming Mount Inwangsan—called “Monstrum” by terrified masses—begin to spread, fear turns into panic. In order to quell the rising panic, King Jungjong brings his most trusted general, Yoon-gyeom, out of retirement. Is the creature, Monstrum, real? Or a figment of mass imagination? A SHUDDER ORIGINAL.
In 16th Century Korea, the plague has taken over and rumors of a vicious beast begin to spread.
Cast: Myung-Min Kim, In-kwon Kim, Hyeri Lee, Woo-sik Choi

Everything here is serviceable, but not much rises above that level. It's a decent action movie, but nothing you've probably not already seen.
Wow, such an awesome film. It’s not scary, but so worth the watch. The main characters were phenomenal, very well rounded, you get attached to them fairly early on. The fight scenes are so cool. Watch it!
Not scary at all, but really interesting. Great characters.
Very good story. I wouldn’t really call it a horror movie as it felt like a martial arts movie with some slight horror elements thrown in. I liked it but also the special effects left a lot to be desired. Good film overall but not perfect. If you don’t take it too seriously I think you will enjoy it plus the fact that it’s a period film (takes places in 1527).
I liked it but I would have liked it even more if the camera frame didn't shake around so much. I'd give it 3.5 out of five if that was a choice.
