    sorry...just didnt like it, not scary in the least, not funny enough, just not campy enough to warrant cult status at all. a big salmon with legs wont scare a 10 yr old, neither would the bad cg...some "hidden" symbolism but 2 hrs was just boring. wait for the dvd.

    I saw this with no subtitles, just Korean, even though it may have been a bit confusing at some parts.. actually it was quite understandable ^-^ I understood most of the words (since my family`s Korean) and yea! It was great movie! I loved it! It was full of suspense, family bonds, and horror!! HAHAHA! There were also some funny parts, and I loved it! It was a very good movie!

    I personally loved it because it was different from other monster films that I’ve seen. The movie has a nice plot and a protagonist wasn’t a typical hero type. However, if you were expecting a conventional monster movie where blood sheds all over the places with attractive main character/s, you might not enjoy this one. Bottom line, it worth watching.

    Blows most big-budget Hollywood monster epics out of the water.

    For once, a monster movie that is not pure blood and gore is created. Unlike many other monster movies which focuse solely on the survival of the main characters, this movie contains way more than that such as using the monster to represent United States in a symbolic way and making us aware of the importance of unity of the family. Simply, this is a monster movie that requires you to think deeper than other typical one dimensional monster movies that entails only the basic themes of killing and staying alive.

    It`s a hell of a ride. Very good movie. No questions asked. It is different from other ordinary monster movies. Basically, it sets apart from other monster movies. It actually has a descent STORY line and only monster movie that makes you think when you go to bed that night. Go check it out!

    DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THIS MOVIE BECAUSE IT IS NOT FROM HOLLYWOOD. It is one of the best monster movie that is made recently in a long time. I thought this movie was overrated and thought this was another weak attempt of a foreign movie but after watching this, you will realize that America is not the only country that makes good movies.

    Completely different kind of monster movie. Sick of Hollywood blockbusters based on American heroism? Go see this one.
