Description
The Park family seem to lead a quite ordinary and peaceful life; well, maybe
a little poorer than the average Seoul citizens. Park Hee-bong (played by Byun
Hee-bong) is a man in his late 60s running a small snack bar on the banks of the
Seoul's Han River and, living with his two sons, daughter and granddaughter.
Hee-bong's elder son Gang-du ( Song Gang-ho) is an immature and incompetent man
in his 40s, whose wife left home long ago. Nam-il (by Park Hae-il) is the
youngest son, an unemployed grumbler, and daughter Nam-joo (by Bae Du-na) is an
archery medallist and member of the national team.
What the three generations of the Park clan doesn't know, is that a bloodthirsty
mutant of indeterminate origin is about to rise up unannounced from the Han
River. When the creature abducts the granddaughter and the dysfunctional
remnants of the group decide to come together to save her, so begins a
terrifying lesson of a new concept of family...
Echoing the jet-black B-movie horror comedy of Tremors, Bong Joon-ho (best known
in Europe for his excellent serial killer thriller Memories Of Murder) gives the
time-honoured creature feature an intoxicating spin with buckets of blood,
brilliant comedic touches and a healthy slice of biting social satire!
