Hwayi: A Monster Boy (South Korea, 2013)

A 5 member gang, led by Seok-Tae, kidnaps a baby boy named Hwa-Yi and raises the baby like their own son. The baby boy is now 17 years old and he has been trained to become a lethal killer. Taking part with his fathers in his first murder, Hwa-Yi learns something about his own past. Hwa-Yi pulls out his gun to find out who he really is.

With a title like that, I didn't know what to expect, but as it turns out, this film was a great thriller that stood out from the ordinary. Some twists and turns keeps it interesting throughout the whole film and the action sequences are nicely done. It was directed by the same man who made the immensely popular Save the Green Planet ten years earlier, so it was about time he came back. Original and dark, A Monster Boy should not disappoint

Genre: Action/Thriller
