Review of Monstrous

Monstrous (2022)
7/10
Bad Buddha
6 March 2024
Monstrous: South Korean series, a cursed Buddha statue is dug up to be put on display. Even as it is being moved to it's new site it affects other drivers who look into the statues eyes. Mayhem ensues with the curse driving people to crazed even zombiesque violence. A black rain falls increasing the numbers of those infected. A few soap like stories are involved in the narrative, the most interesting being a troubled couple who are archaeologists and paranormal event investigators, A siege is involved with crowds turning against anyone they suspect of being infected. The subject of bullying also crops up, something which is endemic to SK Horror/Serial Killer/Revenge films ans series'. In this case it shows how a sociopathic bully takes advantage of the break down in public order to mrtder people. Pretty violent and gory, hatchets, knives. Vehicle and chainsaws are put to deadly use. Directed by Jang Kun-jae, Written by Yeon Sang-ho & Ryoo Yong-jae. Six episodes on Sky sci fi. 7/10.
