Badass Trailer For a 16th Century-Set Korean Monster Movie Titled MONSTRUM
Shudder has shared the first U.S. trailer for the 16th century-set Korean monster movie titled Monstum and it looks like a lot of fun! The film originally opened in South Korea in late 2018, but it’s finally making its U.S. debut today on Shudder. I love a good badass-looking monster movie and this looks like one that’s worth checking out!
Here’s the synopsis for 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. Is the creature, Monstrum, real? Or a figment of mass imagination?
The film was directed by Jong-ho Huh and it stars Woo-sik Choi (Parasite and Train to Busan), Myung-Min Kim, In-kwon Kim, Sung-woong Park, Hyeri Lee, and Hee-soon Park.
Shudder will release Monstrum today on May 14th. Enjoy the trailer!
