This was a film that took place in Korea. It was a film about a monster that lives in the sewers of the city. The monster is huge, it can swim and climb. It can live on land and in water. A family that lives in a little food shack near the river where the monster lives. The monster comes ashore and terrorizes the town of Korea and kills, eat and holds captive people in a ditch tunnel. The monster takes the life of a little Korean girl and the family goes on the mission to save her. But the family is accused of having a disease that they might have caught from the monster. So their taken to a facility to get cured. But the family finds away to escape because they know she's still alive.

The family then teams up and tries to rescue the little girl. They get guns and bow and arrows. and get suited up. They buy a van and go back to their food shack. The family eats and reminisce about the little girl. Soon after the father spots the monster and tries to shoot it. He shot it but it didn't do much damage. The monster come charging and rams over the shack. The family climbs out of the shack and tries to kill the monster. The monster ends up taking the life of the father. The rest of the family is now being chased by the Japanese doctor and army people and start heading to the van. One of the family members gets caught and ends up taken back to the research facility.

The little girl is still alive she trys to escape the sewer tunnel ditch. She soons befriends another person that was taken by the monster. He's a little boy and they both try to escape. But unable to because while the monster was gone they made a rope made out of cloths of the victims. They get caught and try to escape again while the monster was sleeping but gets caught and the monster eats them.

The Family and the monster unite at the middle of the city were the monster is poisoned by the air fumes that are shot at it. They all soon find out that the precious daughter, niece or girl died and the little boy that accompanied her is still alive. The family try to kill the monster but fail. The monster ends up going back to the river sewers. The little boy ends up living with the family.

This was a very unique movie that scared me at times. It was a very interesting comedy and horror movie. The movie gave me a good sense of how japanese consider scary. From the background information that i know. it that the Japanese, Chinese and all asian cultures are very well known for their technique for making horror movies. i would give this movie six stars out of ten.
