South Korean monster movie Monstrum is ready to take us back in time. From director Huh Jong-ho (The Advocate: A Missing Body) comes this bloody tale set in 1527 during the reign of King Jungjong (who is a real historical figure).
“It’s the 22nd year of Jungjong. The plague has taken over Joseon, 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, Jungjong brings back his most trusted general Yoon-gyeom from retirement. Joined by his daughter Myeong, his right-hand man Seong-han, and royal court officer Heo, Yoon-gyeom sets out to find the mysterious creature.”
Kim Myung-Mim, Park Hee-soon, Choi Woo-sik, Kim In-Kwon, Kim Myung-Min, and Lee Geung-young star in Monstrum opening in South Korea theaters on September 13, 2018. Hopefully, an international release will soon follow. Check out the trailer that’s filled with warriors, action, and a giant, fearsome creature.
