Synopsis

A space creature name Wangmagwi (Big Devil) lands on earth with the aim of taking over the planet. The Korean people must unite together to save the planet and defeat the invading monster.

Program Note

Together with The Great Monster Yongary, Big Monster Wangmagwi is regarded as one of the rst Korean monster lms. As a space creature attacks Seoul, an orphan gets inside the monster’s nose and stabs it with a small knife. At a time of
imagination and experiment in Korean lmmaking, Big Monster Wangmagwi is a half-baked yet ambitious Korean monster movie. (MO Eun-young)
