"Have you ever noticed how it just keeps destroying everything in its path but it never looks down. It's like it's being operated by remote control." - Garth

Why watch this? Top-shelf actors pitch in to make this unique monster film work.

Plot Summary: Gloria, a troubled woman struggling with alcoholism, moves back to her hometown after losing her job and being kicked out by her boyfriend. News reports surface of a giant creature destroying Seoul, South Korea, and Gloria realizes she is somehow connected to this phenomenon. She discovers that her actions on a local playground are being mirrored by the giant monster, forcing her to confront the impact of her choices.

Dad's Preview: This is hands down one of the most creative monster films ever made. It's a giant-sized mind-trip comedy, that also blooms into an allegorical tale about responsibility. Weird-Yes. Impossible-Yes. Interesting-Yes. Fun-Yes. Was it all a dream-50/50 chance. (Nerd Alert: The creature design is awesome. Would love to see it square off against Godzilla or King Kong... just once)
