Monstrum (hangeul : 물괴 ; RR : Mulgoe) est un film fantastique sud-coréen co-écrit et réalisé par Huh Jong-ho, sorti en 2018.

L'histoire se déroule en 1527 et tourne autour de la chasse d'une créature gigantesque et très agressive appelée « Monstrum » qui terrorise la population.

Il reçoit des critiques mitigées à cause de son scénario prévisible et est un échec au box-office sud-coréen de 2018 avec 723 951 entrées et 5,5 millions $ de recettes. Il est tout de même salué pour la qualité de ses effets spéciaux, pour réussir à garder le spectateur en haleine grâce au mystère entourant la créature, et est sélectionné pour être en compétition au Festival international du film de Catalogne.

Synopsis

En 1527, dans la Corée Joseon, durant le règne du roi Jungjong, alors que la peste s'abat sur le pays, une rumeur se propage sur l'existence d'une créature terrifiante surnommée « Monstrum » qui vivrait sur le mont Inwang et en descendrait pour attaquer la population. Le roi est cependant persuadé qu'il ne s'agit que d'une rumeur lancée par son premier ministre dans le but de le destituer. Il en appelle donc à Yoon-gyeom, qui fut jadis son plus fidèle général avant de prendre sa retraite, afin que celui-ci enquête. Accompagné de sa fille Myeong, de son bras droit Seong-han et de l’officier de justice royal Heo, Yoon-gyeom se met donc à la recherche de la mystérieuse créature pour découvrir si elle existe vraiment.
