CriticsCritics: 89
AudienceAudience: 7.2

After a giant mutated creature emerges from Seoul’s Han River, a teenage girl is taken, and her family launches a frantic search to find her. As the city reels from the attack, they must contend with a crisis that extends beyond the creature itself.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy monster stories that mix family drama, tension, dark humor, and social commentary; Not for you if you want consistently scary action or polished effects.
