Just saw the advance screening of this Korean film.

It's a fun, funny 50's-style monster flick in the tradition of "Tremors." And it's got CG effects done by the Orphanage, a great SF-based effects house, and WETA, who did all of the Lord of the Rings stuff.

It's very entertaining, and the monster looks super cool. Check it out.

      It was a press screening. I still go to those now and again.

      Unfortunately, Asian films don't often tend to have preview screenings open to the public.

    We watched this one for Haloween, good fun stuff. I'll go for 7 out of 10 stars.

    By the way, wtf is going on people! I know I'm slacking on my updates but please tell me there must be some cool Asian movies coming our way, I need another Hero...or rather another movie around that quality level...any hidden dragons out there?
