Korean revenge cinema gives birth to a ‘Monster’

"Monster" Korean Theatrical Poster

After the ultra-violent, ultra-bleak bloodbath that was 2010’s I Saw the Devil, you might be forgiven for thinking that the Korean revenge movie has seen and done it all. Well, at least one movie is out to prove that the genre still has a few tricks up its sleeve: opening this Friday, March 13th, in South Korea is a twisted new thriller titled Monster.

The movie follows a somewhat developmentally disabled girl whose younger sister is brutally murdered by a serial killer. Quite naturally, this causes the woman to go a bit crazy and she soon ensues on a quest for retribution against her sibling’s killer. Be sure to check out the trailer (with English subtitles!) for the film, online now. Thanks to Far East Films for the story.
