    A copy of A book??

    This is just like the book Monster by A.Lee Martinez , same concept .

    Fun movie

    It's a fun movie. Is it a good movie? No. But it's entertaining.

    There is action, there are monsters, there is a villain..

    And another reviewer said this: "This is just like the book Monster by A. Lee Martinez , same concept ."

    Well, yeah, it's the same concept, because if you would have watched the ending it actually says it's based on the book "Monsters" by A. Lee Martinez..

    Campy, sappy, exhilarating fun - like an 80's American occult-themed movie!

    I enjoyed the daylights out of this movie - I mean, the other reviews aren't really wrong - it's like eating cotton candy. That said, during the pandemic - don't we all need a little cotton candy? And who, I ask, is better at making that than China?

    This is, in fact, based on the book by Texan author A. Lee Martinez - and it does seem awfully American in theme in a lot of ways, but the setting and characters feel pretty true to China.

    Don't think about it too much - just give it a watch on a day when you need a little pick-me-up.

    A Fun Monster Movie

    Even though it was the typical "girl needs saving, boy needs self-confidence" movie, I enjoyed the monsters and the different take on this type of story. I thought that the monsters were pretty imaginative. Worth a one-time watch, even at 3am. 5.5/10

    Pokemon like world

    Amazing casts. Good cgi and sound effects. Weak storyline but love the fantasy aspect of this movie. A fan of this 'pokemon' resembling world. The action scenes can be better if more time and money given. Highly recomended.
