The contrast of a real monster just man pretending to be one.. It also teaches of family without real ties and what true loyalty is.. It is more than just a monster movie, the message behind is a lot stronger than that..
Monstrum does a great job of building tension all the way up until the big reveal of the monster. Gorgeous interiors and exteriors of the royal palace.
Monstrum is the first creature action movie set in the Joseon era and has a suspenseful and entertaining premise, but it is ruined by a predictable plot. One highlight of this film is the design of the monster and splashy special effects. On another positive note, the movie constantly arouses the curiosity of viewers regarding the identity of the strange monster recorded in history, the secret behind the creature and, most importantly, whether the creature existence is true or not
