On April 21, 2019, the Asian big-budget spectacle «Monstrum», a mixture of martial arts and monster film, will also be available on DVD and Blu-ray in our latitudes. Similar to Netflix's "Kingdom", the monstrous adventure of directors Huh Jong-ho and Heo Jong-ho is characterized by the fact that it can be viewed as a historical epic, martial arts film or monster movie . These include clashing sword fights, court intrigues and a beast conceived and realized in a similar way to the creature from «The Host» by CJ Entertainment.
At the beginning of the 16th century the plague raged in Korea - the region around Mount Ingwansan was particularly hard hit. In addition to the terrifying, deadly epidemic, the population also has to fear a bloodthirsty beast that is said to be hunting people in the rugged mountainous landscape. When reports of it reach the court of King Jungjong, the latter sends his elite soldier Jin Yong, together with the experienced officer Yoon Gyeom and the mysterious Myung, to the province to hunt down and kill the monster. Does the special command end as fresh meat for the beast?
