This film is a masterpiece. Its probably on of the best monster movies ever made. Certainly its one of the top three giant monster movies. Its not a straight horror film. Its much more than that, its a family drama, a hysterical comedy, a political thriller and yes a scary scary movie. The tension is incredible at times simply because director Joon-ho Bong, of the excellent Memories of Murder, has crafted a film where anything can happen at any time. You are never safe, with the monster showing up often when you least expect it, often after a belly laugh that catches in your throat. The film also manages to wring laughs out of incredibly tense situations as things go wrong and people make human mistakes and choices. Wow.
