I admit that I found MONSTRUM a disappointing watch, mainly because I had too high expectations for it given my experience of Korean cinema in general. This one is essentially the Korean version of OUTLANDER, as various characters must tackle a giant creature with an appetite for human flesh. The political commentary is expected and okay, but it's the characters I had a hard time caring about here, and none of the actors really stand out. As expected, the monster action is dominated by CGI, which isn't too bad as it goes, but I did find this all rather long-winded and uninteresting - something we've seen put on screen too many times before.
