Bulgasari (lost South Korean monster film; 1962): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 03:17, 26 March 2016

The only known movie poster.

Status: Lost

Pulgasari is a 1962 South Korean monster film.^[1] The existence of the film is often debated, as the poster may be a hoax. As with most South Korean monster films, there were few international releases, so there is no concrete way to tell if this is a real film.^[2]

There is a North Korean film of the same name, which may be a remake and could give hints to what the original movie was like.

The only known piece of media dealing with the film is the poster, as it seems to have gone missing immediately after it was released.

-The existence of the film is often debated, as the poster may be a hoax, but since there has been no evidence either way it can only be assumed that it was lost very quickly. As most South Korean monster films are very rare with few releases within their own country and none outside, there is no way to tell if this is a real movie.
