As with Bong & his love for infusing genres, shot so aesthetically wonderfully like any art-house film but filmed with the pacing of a blockbuster, this is a highly enthralling film. Mixing monster, horror, family melodrama genres and infusing his own ironic sense of comedy, Bong keeps us entertained throughout the 2 hours.
