The story is set in 16th century Korea during King Jungjong's fragile reign (Park Hee-soon). Not only are citizens destitute and hungry, they are living in constant fear due to rumors that a monster is living in the woods-rumors that Prime Minister Woon (Lee Kyeong-yeong) started because he wishes to take the throne for himself. He hopes that the rumor, combined with the growing unrest, will be enough to usurp the king. But the monster is far from imaginary. There are two types of corpses coming out of the woods: those in pieces and those with boils. Only one of these groups has been in direct contact with the monster. But what of the other?
I found "Monstrum" to be an enjoyable monster action movie. I happened to watch this movie on a transatlantic flight because I was bored with Hollywood material. That being said, it is clearly a hollywoodesque Korean movie.
"Monstrum" has a high body count, lots of blood and chopped off body parts, and the action keeps you entertained. The story is just enough to listen to while you wait for the resolution of the character arcs. Hell, I even felt like crying in the last scene because of the drama. Recommended if you look for monster action movie that doesn't play in the US but gives you a glimpse into a non-Western culture.
