Pretty great monster movie. It made me jump in fear, laugh and cry. The special effects were pretty good and I really enjoyed the actress that played the daughter. I definitely recommend it if you're a fan of horror monster movies.

I had heard about this a long time ago, but wasn't sure I wanted to watch it. However, it turned up in a list of notable scifi films... actually in a couple of lists like that. So I thought I would check it out. Glad I did. This is an excellent film. Just really well done. It did run a little bit long for me. But overall this was more than worthwhile. Beautifully made, great characters.

This is exactly why I love Korean films - irreverent humor. This was action packed, exciting & totally hysterical! South Korean cinema never disappoints me. Korean film makers perfectly integrate some comedy into just about everything other genre -- horror, thriller, mystery, history, drama - - which is a more accurate reflection of life. There's comfort in laughter during the worst of times. It's awesome!
