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...

I bought this on dvd at first for a very cheap price and thought id give it a go even though the film was subtitled... It is probably one of the best films iv watched in the last year. If it was in english everyone would be raving about it. The special effects are brilliant !! Good tense scenes as well. You soon forget you are reading the subtitles just as you forget you are looking at words when you are reading a book... I would definately recomend this.

Ever since I saw the trailer for this film, I wanted to see it. Because the film is Korean, it got a limited cinema release in the UK and no cinemas even remotely close to me showed it. The second it came out on Blu Ray, I bought it and went home to watch it in all its 1080p glory. The film is amazing, starting off with a monster attack, and only getting better and more fun filled as you go along. The acting is cleverly done, and you often find yourself laughing at the most saddest of scenes. As long as you watch this film and don't take everything seriously, you will thoroughly enjoy it, especially with amazing special effects and such a beautiful script! This is a must see!
