Watch Hwayi: A Monster Boy For Free

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Blistering performances.

Well last night I finally watched this movie ..I was so excited for it really . well first of all , I RECOMMEND this movie to everyone who wants to have a thriller filled ,dramatic,emotional movie ..so try this great movie . well in order for me not to spoil the movie for you ..I will just say little !! everything was epic and specially the fight scenes and cars races ..the Directer was a real GENIUS in drawing the best in the actors and specially "Yeo Jin gu" ,despite his young age but he was like possessed by the character to the point that you will not be able to tell if he is acting or he is the real Hwayi ,SERIOUSLY . well for me just few things stood out and remained mysterious even when the movie was finished ..I needed more answers for few things but they never made them clear ,specially some past events , but i think the need of the movie directer or even maybe the writer to show us things more than the others was the reason ! all the 5 "fathers" presented a unique character for each one of them ..with "Kim Yun seok" character I got the most chills cuz he was like super scary .. anyways ! If You are OK with BLOOD in movies ..cuz seriously you will see a great deal of blood and scary scenes but it all worth watching really ..so enjoy ^^

From the director who gave 'Save the Green Planet' was carved this action-thriller. It was a good comeback for the director to give such a great movie after a decade of the gap. Also worth waiting for us all these years to get a movie like this. It was the story of a teenager who begin to look for his true identity from what he was known as.I was so curious after reading synopsis which denoted a boy with the five fathers. Yeah, it is something I did not get at that point, once I began to watch it was convinced me. A boy was raised by the five criminals, later goes in search for the truth after he's forced to step into a killing spree. The more he goes deeper to find the truth the more he risks himself with the dangers ahead. One after another the truth come into the lights which shocks him as well as the audience.I thought it was another Korean gore movie with gangsters in it. I thought that way all the first half till the twist come into the play. But the real twist was in the last portion which totally blew me. It was attached to a flashback scene, that scene was the best turning point which flipped the movie from its originality into the new perspective.I am seeing possibly Hollywood remake here. Definitely other industries around the world will show interest in this. Because the story was very nice with excellent characters and twists. One of the best Korean action movie of the year. The cast was good and so the direction with strong scenes everywhere. A sequel could be possible, which may concentrate more on the romance side. You should have this if you love the Korean movies where men are seen with the guns.

one of the best movies i've seen in a while, even though the story is kind of preposterous. do Koreans ever make a bad movie? totally original idea for a movie and it really gets the blood pumping.the story is about a young boy about 4-5 years old who gets kidnapped for ransom by a gang of 5 men who police have dubbed "the day breakers", because they are so brazen. the whole gang is evil and the worst is the leader. so, they kidnap the boy from a really kind and rich couple, demanding money in return for the boy. they wind up keeping the boy, and he basically winds up with 5 unsavory father figures and he calls all five father.sound original enough..., sounds like a good premise for a really good comedy? not! fast forward 12 years and hes a teen now, but during all the time that has gone by, they teach and make him do a lot of bad things, with the final lesson being the act of killing somebody. during all this time they commit a lot of crimes and kill a lot of people. the cops are hot on their heels, but there is a mole in the department helping them out and they always never get caught.on their latest job they have to rub out a couple who refuse to move out of their house and make way for that whole stretch of area to be modernized by crooked developers. as a last ditch effort they hire the gang to rub out the couple and thats all i'm writing about the movie, because it gets really juicy from there on out, practically leaving me breathless.i would consider this a action drama thriller on speed, the movie takes you and wraps you around its story and you are just engrossed and can't wait to find out what happens next. production values are as good or better then Hollywood, and the action was top-notch with some MMA moves thrown in besides the gun-play and the explosions and car chases.the pace of the movie is excellent, it was neither to fast or to slow, plus there never was a dull moment. it is hard to explain, but this genre of movie when it is done right gives you such a feeling of satisfaction after taking the journey to the end. went in to the movie not knowing what to expect and watched a really really solid all-around movie. i would give this movie at least a 7.the title of the movie is "monster boy", because he literally in the dark thinks he sees this monster that is beside him waiting to do harm to him. i can't figure it out yet, but the title is somehow perfectly related to the movie and has a deeper meaning.great watch and definitely a first option movie. go and watch this movie, its really well done even though the story is kinda far-out, you will wind up rooting for the boy.

Since nobody has reviewed the movie yet, I thought I could share my impressions about this EXCELLENT movie.First of all, I must admit that it had been quite a long time since I hadn't seen a good Korean movie, thus I was a bit skeptical at first. Fortunately, I immediately got absorbed in the movie. The actors are perfectly chosen, especially Jin-gu Yeo (Hwayi) who makes me think of Byung hun lee.Now one of the few things I was afraid of was pointless conversations that don't add anything to the story except making it boring. But I'm glad to say there weren't any, and I enjoyed every single minutes of the movie from the beginning to the end. Moreover, I found the fighting scenes really well performed, it was so realistic that I jumped with fright a few times. As far as the story is concerned, it is thrilling, credible and touching.In short, if you haven't view it yet, I strongly advise you to watch it, you won't be disappointed! 10/10
