From director Jong-ho Huh comes South Korean creature feature Monstrum, a Shudder Original movie that’s headed to the streaming service this Thursday, May 14th.
Monstrum won the Audience Award at the Sitges International Film Festival back in 2018, and our own Rafael Motamayor raved in his review out of Sitges that it’s a “highly entertaining creature feature.”
In the film, 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, back 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.
Woo-sik Choi (Parasite, Train to Busan), In-kwon Kim, Myung-Min Kim and Hyeri Lee star.
Heo-dam and Jong-ho Huh wrote Monstrum.
