Alternative Monster Movies

It is really reluctant to classify this film as a monster, and it should be classified as a fantasy film. The lightning strikes caused by childhood grievances made the toy monsters around them manifest, and they appeared in Seoul at the same time and place every day (because the model was made in Seoul at that time), and at the same time as the Americans in the specific location. The male and female protagonists behave completely in sync. This kind of mental setting really admires the director's imagination. The tone of the film is also very different. The first half of the plot makes people think that this is a healing story in which a down-and-out woman returns to the hometown and meets her childhood warm boy friend, and finally sparks a spark to find true love, but the second half of the plot reverses rapidly. After the "warm man" reveals the truth, the heroine faces the life or death decision of the innocent people in Seoul receiving death threats, which is quite a thriller.

Anne Hathaway gave the most "degenerate" performance in the film, with turbulent hair and a slightly bloated figure (it is said that she was pregnant at the time of this filming). There is no former goddess Fan, "big cousin" Dan. Stevens is as handsome as ever. Jason Sudekis, who has always been in comedy, played a somewhat psychopathic role this time. The special effects of the monster invading Seoul in the movie are good, but due to cost, there are not many shots. If the cheerful poster of the film makes people misunderstand that the film is a comedy, I can say responsibly that, apart from the embarrassing experience of the heroine, there is really nothing to laugh about in this film. It’s no wonder that the director of this film has directed films such as "26 Ways to Die" and "Horror Video 3".
