I have been a fan of Bong Joon-Ho’s for a while now but for whatever reason this movie just always eluded me. I’m happy to say 17 years later, it definitely holds up. A fantastic look into real human emotions while giving an intense, anxiety inducing, monster film. I will say the CGI is rough for todays standards but the creatures model is so creepy looking it’s easy to get past. Not a single bad performance in this film. Bong really knows how to get the most out of his people.
