Concept

In this South Korean monster film a clumsy young father who sells food to tourists finds himself in a parents unimaginable nightmare when a creature climbs out of the local river and kidnaps his young daughter after a menacing killing spree. Having had 200 bottles of Formaldehyde dumped into the river years prior. There were strange sightings and rumours and even a suicide linked to the myth. Now along with his grandfather, graduate alcoholic brother and professional archer sis they must track down this creature and rescue their young family member. With quite a mix of comedy and tragedy this amazing film brings into it some psychological elements as well.

ReviewThis is likely to be my most favourite Asian horror film. It can give you a good laugh and make you feel sad the next. The camera angles in this partiular film are just amazing especially when the monster is first shown on screen. The CGI doesn't look fantastic but it can be forgiven for a great plot you can't help but finish. An absolute must-see 8/10. Once again there is a lonk for this DVD down below.
